Ranchi, Jul 28 (PTI) The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Tuesday questioned former Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) chairman L Khiangte for nearly nine hours as part of its probe into alleged irregularities in examinations conducted by the agency, an official said.
Khiangte, who resigned following a raid in the JPSC office last week, has been called for another round of questioning on Wednesday, the official said.
After being summoned by the CID, he reached the agency’s office at 11 am and came out around 8 pm.
Khiangte did not reply to queries by the media persons after emerging from the CID office here.
He had said on Monday that he “voluntarily chose to resign” to ensure an impartial investigation into the matter.
Khiangte resigned as JPSC chairperson last Wednesday, a day before CID searched multiple locations, including his official residence, in connection with the alleged irregularities.
He was appointed to the post in February last year after he retired as the state’s chief secretary.
The CID has so far arrested 10 people in the case, while the commission postponed the JPSC Combined Civil Services Mains Exam, scheduled from July 25 to July 27, citing “unavoidable circumstances” amid protests by the opposition BJP. PTI SAN NN
