ED Raids Aide of Former Uttarakhand CM in 2016 Exam Irregularities CasePreviousNext

The Enforcement Directorate conducted raids linked to alleged irregularities in the 2016 Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission exam, recovering Rs 32 lakh in cash, gold, and luxury watches from Chandan Singh Jeena, personal assistant to former Chief Minister Harish Rawat. Jeena, previously an officer on special duty during Rawat's tenure, is under investigation for money laundering. Following the raids, Rawat resigned from two Congress party positions, stating he did not want the controversy to affect the party's anti-corruption efforts. Investigations involve multiple officials and middlemen connected to the exam fraud.
