Another exam racket comes to light in Bihar

Close on the heels of paper leak in Bihar State Staff Selection Commission (BSSC) test for clerks, a TV sting today exposed a purported shady deal in the ongoing recruitment of fourth grade employees in civil courts across Bihar.
The sting beamed by some private TV channels showed Hameeda Ashgari, claiming herself to be general secretary of state JD (U) minority cell, talking about deal of Rs 5 lakh with an aspirant of Darbhanga for the post of fourth grade employees in civil courts across the state.
The JD(U) claimed that the woman has no affiliation with the party and law would catch up with her for the wrongdoing.

State JD(U) spokesman Neeraj Kumar, MLC, told PTI that he has verified with state party chief of minority cell Mohammad Salam, Darbhanga district president of JD(U) Sunil Bharti and party candidate for Jale seat in Darbhanga from where the woman hails, "and all of them said the woman has no affiliation with JD(U)."
Kumar said rule of law prevailed in the state under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and in the present case also lawful action would be initiated if some wrongdoing has been done.
