At a press conference with Tosham MLA Kiran Choudhry, he said the para 10 of Anil Nagar’s (former HCS officer) dismissal order stated that he was the “custodian of all relevant records and there is no surety of the sanctity of the record kept by him”.

Bigger conspiracy?

The HPSC Chairman and members are advising the Governor to not conduct an inquiry against Anil Nagar. Is it because it may lead to unravelling of a bigger conspiracy, where top officials could be exposed? —Randeep Surjewala, Congress gen secy

“When the record of dental surgeon and HCS recruitment with Nagar has been declared invalid, then why the recruitment has not been cancelled,” he asked.

Choudhry said she had moved an adjournment motion on job scams in the HPSC and HSSC in the upcoming session. “HPSC Chairman and HSSC Chairman, and members of both the commissions have not been questioned yet. Why? There is an attempt to cover up,” she said.
