CBI today carried out searches at ten places of certain suspects/accused
or their associates in connection with the criminal case registered
by the investigating agency relating to the appointment of
Junior Basic Trained (JBT) Teachers by the Govt. of Haryana
in 1999-2000. The places where searches are taking place are
Delhi, Kurukshetra, Palwal (Faridabad distt.), Bhiwani, Chandigarh
and Sirsa.
The FIR was registered by CBI on 24.5.2004 against the former
Officer on Special Duty and former Political Advisor to the
then Chief Minister, Haryana, two private persons and others.
The FIR was registered following disclosure of criminal offences
during the Preliminary Enquiry which was registered by CBI
on 12.12.2003 on the orders of the Supreme Court, dated 25.11.2003
passed in a Criminal Writ Petition.
During the investigation into the case so far, reasonable
amount of circumstantial and other evidence have surfaced
about the involvement of several suspects and accused and
CBI conducted the searches today with a view to collecting
more incriminating evidence relating to the fraudulently prepared
interview lists, the lists of candidates who were to be favoured
and the amounts of money which were reportedly collected from
the candidates for the purpose and also for possible leads
which could help the investigations.
CBI had earlier conducted searches in a large number of places
on 25.5.2004 soon after registering the case.
During searches today, several incriminating documents have
been recovered and searches are continuing.
