Searches on to arrest ex-RPSC chairman: police

Searches are on to arrest former Rajasthan Public Service Commission chairman Habib Khan Gauran allegedly involved in RJS paper leak to help his daughter clear the exam, a senior Rajasthan police officer said today.
"We have found Gauran involved in Rajasthan Judicial Services (RJS) paper leak and directions have been issued by the ADGP to arrest him," said Additional SP (Special Operation Group) Lal Chand Kayal.
Police teams have raided several places in the last couple of days and Gauran will be arrested soon, he said.
Gauran was directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on October 17 but he did not turn up and is missing, the SOG officer said.

Gauran had allegedly taken down questions of the RJS exam for his daughter who cleared the test, Kayal said.
"After it came to light that Gauran had visited the printing press and noted down questions of the RJS paper, a detailed investigation was carried out and records were examined which made it clear that he had leaked the RJS paper," the Additional SP said.

He alleged Gauran's family members are not cooperating with the SOG.
The case against former IPS officer Gauran, who was appointed RPSC Chairman by the previous Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government in 2012, was registered on October two.

Gauran quit as RPSC Chairman in September this year in the wake of leakage of the Rajasthan Administrative Services 2013 paper.
The RAS paper was leaked by a gang from a printing press and it was during investigation that the press owner revealed that Gauran too had visited the press and noted down questions of RJS paper last year.
The SOG had carried out a separate probe and found Gauran guilty of leaking the RJS paper, the Additional SP said.
