LG Sinha while speaking at a passing out parade in Udhampur said that a time bound probe led by Additional Chief Secretary will be conducted into the allegations and corrective measures will be taken in case any wrongdoing is established.

“There have been reports over the last couple of days questioning the selection list of SI posts. We have decided to probe the matter by a committee led by Additional Chief Secretary. We will quash the list in case of a fraud and carry out the recruitment afresh, ” he said.

The LG said it was for the “first time that a recruitment had come under scanner”. The SI selection list issued by the JKSSB recently has come under scannner with candidates alleging large scale fraud saying candidates from same families had been selected in multiple instances.
