Taking the allegations of examination paper leak in Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) on a serious note, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has written to lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal seeking a CBI probe into the incident and even sought re-examination. The examination conducted by the DSSSB for the posts of primary school teachers in municipal corporations' schools was held on October 29.
Demanding strict action against officers involved, Sisodia sought their suspension so that they do not tamper with evidence. He also sought the cancellation of the exam for the paper that was allegedly leaked.
"Since the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) has taken no action in the past, this case should immediately be referred to the CBI for a fair and an unbiased investigation," he said in his letter.
Referring to the incident, Sisodia said it was a serious case of corruption in the teacher recruitment process and there have been numerous complaints of exam papers being leaked. There have also been complaints of papers being set from a particular guidebook and servers being down at the time when documents have to be uploaded, he said. Sisodia added that all these issues have already been referred to the l-G.
There have been instances of students being barred from the exams, but no action has been taken against any senior officer in the DSSSB despite multiple such instances, Sisodia said in the letter.
"Strong action needs to be taken in this case, so as to give a clear message that the l-G's office is not protecting the corrupt within the DSSSB," he said.
