IAS Sonwani, Businessman Goyal sent on 7 days remand

The special court of CBI on Tuesday sent seven days judicial remand to the accused of CGPSC recruitment scandal Taman Singh Sonwani (retired IAS) former Chairman of the Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission (CGPSC), and Shravan Kumar Goel, Whole Time Director of Bajrang Power and Ispat Ltd.

Both the accused were presented before a CBI Special Court, which granted a seven-day remand.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday arrested the both men in their alleged role in the infamous CGPSC recruitment scandal.

The CBI alleges that Goel transferred 45 lakh from Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds to an NGO linked to Sonwani in exchange for se-curing jobs for his son, Shashank Goel, and daughter-in-law, Bhumika. CBI alleged it is an act of bribery.

Investigators claim the money ultimately reached Sonwani. Following verification ofthese claims, the CBI took action.

After the issue got highlighted, Company Bajrang Power and Ispat Ltd discontinued the Goel's photo from its Company's official website.
