Former Chhattisgarh PSC Chairman Arrested in Examination Paper Leak Money Laundering Case
The Enforcement Directorate arrested former Chhattisgarh PSC chairman Taman Singh Sonwani on money laundering charges linked to alleged examination paper leaks and manipulation in 2020 and 2021. The investigation, stemming from a 2024 CBI FIR filed after the BJP's 2023 state election victory, alleges Sonwani rigged selections favoring relatives and bribing candidates. The ED claims recruitment rules were amended to benefit his relatives and that bribes were laundered through a family-controlled entity disguised as a CSR donation for a non-existent college. Sonwani is being presented before a special PMLA court in Raipur.
