CBI Grills Ex-JPSC Chairman
Earlier on Monday, former JPSC chairman L Khiangte was questioned by Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officials for nearly seven hours in connection with alleged irregularities in JPSC examinations, an official said. This marked the fourth round of questioning faced by the former chairman.
Khiangte appeared before the CID around 11 am and left the agency’s office at around 6 pm, the official added. He was previously questioned for nine hours on July 28 and for eight hours each on July 29 and July 31. Khiangte resigned as JPSC chairman on July 22, a day before the CID conducted searches at several locations, including his official residence, as part of its probe into the alleged examination irregularities.
On July 27, Khiangte said he had “voluntarily chose to resign” to ensure that the investigation into the matter remained impartial.
