APSC scam: Court declares Rajib Paul as ‘proclaimed absconder’

Rajib Paul, brother of former APSC chairperson Rakesh Paul accused of printing fake APSC answer scripts at his private printing press, is suspected to have left the country and believed to have taken shelter in nearby countries.

The special court declared Rajib Paul as 'Proclaimed Absconder' as he has been absconding since the investigating team started arresting government officials who have been accused of securing their jobs by bribing Rakesh Paul.

• PROCLAIMED OFFENDER – The meaning of being declared as proclaimed Offender is that accused can be arrested by any citizen of India at any time or any place.
