27 July 2018:

The Dibrugarh Police, probing the multi-crore rupees cash-for-jobs scam in the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC), may soon bring two senior journalists of the state under the purview of the ongoing probe.

The two scribes, whose names were not revealed by sources, are accused of making attempts to manage the judiciary and the media in securing bail for some arrested officers of the civil administration and the police through offers of cash.

According to sources, phone call detail records of the two journalists have been submitted to the court.

Two middlemen in the scam were recently arrested by the police for their alleged attempt to influence the judiciary in order to secure bail for some officers.
