WHAT HAD HAPPENED ON JUNE5,2013..a sting operation over the alleged corrupt practices of a member, officials of the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC)(source :TOI,6/6/2013)

After a local news channel

began airing visuals of a sting operation

over the alleged corrupt practices of a

member, officials of the Andhra Pradesh

Public Service Commission (APPSC)

approached the city police to conduct an

inquiry into the allegations.

On Wednesday, a local TV channel aired a

video in which APPSC member G S Seeta

Ramaraju was found playing cards at an

apartment in Madhapur with a woman

named Sandhya.

According to the report, Sandhya, hailing

from Bheemavaram, allegedly has contacts

with several politicians, including the CM's

younger brother, and top bureaucrats

and she is using these contacts to get

government jobs for candidates who are

willing to pay a price. Sandhya reportedly

runs a job consultancy office near the

CM's camp office.

After the channel began airing the

footage, APPSC secretary Charu Sinha

approached Hyderabad police

commissioner Anurag Sharma and gave a

representation asking the police to

conduct an inquiry into the incident. The

APPSC secretary also gave police a CD

containing the footage about the alleged

scam.

The police commissioner has forwarded

the complaint to Central Crime Station

(CCS) sleuths and directed them to

conduct an inquiry.

Meanwhile, after the news broke out,

students of Osmania University staged a

dharna in front of the APPSC office

demanding immediate arrest of the tainted

officials.

After the students burnt an effigy of the

chief minister, Begum Bazaar police took

eight protesters into preventive custody

and released them later on station bail.
