Six people who had been earlier detained by the CM's SVC in connection with the large scam were presented in court by the special judge.
Digital Desk: The Chief Minister's Special Vigilance Cell (CM's SVC) arrested the suspended IAS officer Sewali Devi Sharma and her contractor son-in-law Ajit Pal Singh from the Cross Lane hotel in Rajasthan's Ajmer in the early hours, marking a significant development in the 105 crore SCERT scam case.
Following the discovery of the Rs 105 crore funds embezzlement case, both of the accused were on the run.
The sleuths of the CM's SVC have also captured Rahul Amin and one housekeeper from the hotel in addition to Sewali Devi and Ajit Paul Singh. After presenting them before a court in Rajasthan, they will all be transported to Assam on transit remand.
Six people who had been earlier detained by the CM's SVC in connection with the large scam were presented in court by the special judge.
Congress leader Rajesh Joshi was among those who were brought before the court. The others were Rubul Ali, Saranga More, Ramizuddin Ahmed, Jayanta Lahkar, Lakhinarayan Sonowal, and Lahkar.
A Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed.) course under the Open Distance Learning (ODL) system is reportedly being offered as part of the 105 crore SCERT fraud. The suspected financial misdeeds occurred between 2017 and 2022.
According to the reports, Sewali Devi Sarma, the director-in-charge of SCERT who has been suspended, gave most of the contracts to her relatives, including her in-laws. More surprisingly, according to the sources, many of these companies' Goods and Services Tax (GST) numbers were fake.
Devi is accused of moving money from the company's bank accounts to the accounts of other employees before taking cash out of those accounts. Additionally, it has come to light that Sewali Devi Sarma broke laws and regulations by opening 347 locations for the D.El.Ed. programme through Open Distance Learning (ODL), which is 288 centres more than what the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) had authorised. Allegedly bogus centres made up the majority of these.
