The Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) on Friday raided the office of the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) in connection with alleged irregularities in examinations conducted by the board.
ACB chief Mukesh Kumar Meena said, “A team was sent at the board’s office at Karkardooma to collect relevant documents, as evidence in connection with the case”.
It may be noted that the ACB had on Thursday registered a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act, based on a complaint alleging malpractice and irregularities committed during examinations conducted by the DSSSB for the post of Grade-III level officials.
The complainant had submitted to the ACB, a list of allegations, including that people in the board made money by selecting candidates through “unfair means”. The other charge levelled on it is that almost half of the selected candidates have police records related to paper leaks in connection with UPSC, SSC and DSSB examinations earlier.
Also, out of the 42 selected candidates, 21 were close relatives, 70 per cent of them were resident of outer Delhi areas which include Narela, Bawana and Kanjhawla and belonged to same community, the complainant alleged.
The complaint said candidates were asked to report at the board’s examination centre at Shakarpur with ulterior motives, on the pretext of maintaining sanctity of the examination.
The selected candidates also have their roll numbers in sequence and all of them have scored marks which the person sitting a seat ahead of them scored in the examination, the complaint said.
