A BJP leader accused in a sub-inspector recruitment scam has surrendered before the Assam police.
Diban Deka, who claimed to have served the BJP for 24 years, surrendered at the Patacharkuchi police station in the newly created Bajali district late on September 30 midnight. He was brought to Guwahati about 95 km southeast on October 1.
Mr. Deka was allegedly involved in the leaking of the question paper for a police sub-inspector job test that was scheduled on September 20. Hand-written copies of the leaked questions were used in a “written test” conducted for 50 candidates at a lodge in Guwahati on September 19.
Police said the BJP leader’s involvement in the scam came to light after a question paper was recovered from the lodge during a raid.
Former Deputy Inspector-General of Police Prasanta Kumar Dutta, the alleged kingpin of the scam, is still absconding.
