Jaipur, April 10 (NationPress) Fatehgarh SDM Hanumanaram from Jaisalmer, who was apprehended in the SI Recruitment Exam scam, was presented in the Jaipur Court on Thursday, where the SOG obtained a one-day custody of him.
Hanumanaram was taken into custody by the SOG on Wednesday for allegedly acting as a dummy candidate in place of Narpatram during the examination.
According to officials, Hanumanaram participated in the exam on behalf of Narpatram, who, alongside his wife Indra, has already been detained in relation to the scam.
Indra is further accused of impersonating another candidate, Harkhu Jat, although the case has a peculiar twist: while Harkhu passed the exam, Indra, who also took the exam, did not succeed. The investigation is expected to reveal additional complexities of a broader conspiracy.
During the one-day remand, Hanumanaram will be interrogated together with Narpatram and Indra, with the SOG hoping to uncover further details and the involvement of high-profile individuals and networks in the SI exam scam.
Ironically, Hanumanaram Virda, whose administrative credentials had been enhanced by achieving the 22nd rank in the RAS Exam 2021, was on a promising career path.
Selected for the Statistics Department in 2018 and having successfully cleared the RAS exam, he was initially posted as SDM in Chitalwana, Jalore, before subsequent postings at Bagoda and Shiv.
His recent assignment to Fatehgarh makes his involvement in the scam all the more detrimental, raising serious questions about the integrity of Rajasthan’s administrative services and shaking the trust of thousands of candidates who appeared for the exam with honesty.
