KANPUR: The defence counsel for the two accused of TET examination scam on Thursday argued that there were several errors in investigation and his clients Narendra Pratap Singh and Manish Chandra should be discharged on the same basis.
The counsel SP Singh pleaded in the court of the district judge Kanpur Dehat that complete investigation was not executed by the designated officer but conducted by the station officer.
Moreover, the prosecuting agency had not sought sanction of arrest and prosecution from the state as some of the accused were government servants. This ground alone was enough for the discharge of accused.
The Akbarpur police had claimed that it had exposed a big scam of TET exam on December 31, 2011. According to the police claim, the accused had colluded with some examinees and collected money from them with an assurance that they would clear the exam and be selected for the job.
Sanjay Mohan, director, UP Madhyamik Shikshak Sangh is among the accused. The police has charged the director under 420/120 B IPC (Cheating, and involvement in criminal conspiracy) and under section 13(1)-D of Anti-corruption Act (Amassing wealth by corrupt or illegal manner by public servant ). The remaining 11 accused were charged under section420 IPC and under section 8/9 of Anti corruption Act.
