Had role in transport constables’ recruitment scam

BHOPAL: The Special Task Force ( STF) of Madhya Pradesh Police may tighten its noose around former transport minister and BJP MLA Jadgish Devda in transport constable recruitment case. The documents seized by the STF, include evidences against Devda.

Evidence of Devda making recommendations of two candidates have been collected from the information gleaned from the hard disk of computer system of Nitin Mahindra, an accused in Vyapam scam.The recruitment of transport constable was made in

2012 and in the recent past, the STF did not entertain a complaint lodged against Rajendra Gurjar, who was former personal assistant to Devda. With investigations once again starting in this case, preparations are on to file first information report ( FIR). Besides Devda, the names of other politicians are also coming to the fore and the STF is busy in gathering information. Sources said staff members of the former minister are also being surfaced in the investigations and a case may be filed.

Strong evidences against one more minister

The STF has got strong evidences of involvement of one more minister in PMT admission entrance test. Pressure is being brought to bear upon the STF to spare the Minister. The minister and his brother had discussed admissions in PMT through Jagdish Sagar. The brother of this minister got these admissions done through OP Shukla rather than Sagar.

The documents recovered and Shukla’s statements have confirmed the involvement of this minister and his brother in PMT scam. Sources said attempts are being made to put pressure from high level of the government to get the name of this minister removed from the scam.
