Chodankar urges DGP to disclose job scam probe status

Goa Congress President Girish Chodankar on Thursday demanded that the Director General of Police publicly disclose the status of the investigation into the alleged cash-for-job scam, which he said shook the confidence of thousands of unemployed youth and their families.

“As the senior-most police officer, the DGP has a constitutional and moral responsibility to ensure that the investigation proceeds fearlessly and without political interference.” said Chodanakar.

He said that since the job scam broke out more than a year ago, there were many unanswered questions about the scam, which police were yet to respond to.

“People of Goa has a right to know if investigation has been progressed? How many people have been questioned? “ Chodankar said.

The job scam, Chodankar said, was not merely a case of corruption but a direct assault on the aspirations of Goa’s youth.

“Many families may have sacrificed their hard-earned savings in the hope of securing employment for their children,” he said.
