The Meghalaya police has instituted an enquiry to probe into the alleged malpractices and unfair means during the police recruitment examinations held in various districts.
Central Recruitment Board (CRB) chairman, IGP Dalton P Marak said that the board has taken serious note of feedback from individuals on social media platforms. The enquiry to be headed by a senior police officer will establish the allegations, he said.
Marak said candidates have been advised to refrain from spreading hearsay and unconfirmed sources about the recruitment. “If the candidates are certain about anomalies and malpractices indulged during the examinations, they are advised to report the matter to the police officers present in the examination centres or report to CRB office for which prompt action will be taken,” the IGP said
He said that the board upholds the principles of Transparent Recruitment Process (TRP) in letter and spirit and will impose stringent supervision for the remaining examinations.
Earlier on May 25, a candidate was disqualified and debarred for using unfair means during a recent police recruitment exam in one of the examination centres in West Garo Hills.
According to police, the candidate was confronted by the invigilators for queries and verification, but the candidate hurriedly tore the admit card into pieces and fled from the scene.
