The CBI has claimed that Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission ex-chairman Taman Singh Sonwani tweaked guidelines and shared the CGPSC-2021 exam question papers with his two nephews in advance, facilitating their selection to the state services.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on January 16 filed its first chargesheet in the alleged CGPSC scam, which came to light during the previous Congress regime, before a special court in Raipur, naming Sonwani and six others.

The other accused persons are Sonwani’s nephews Nitesh Sonwani and Sahil Sonwani, then CGPSC deputy controller examination Lalit Ganvir, director of Shri Bajrang Power and Ispat Ltd Shravan Kumar Goyal, his son Shashank Goyal and daughter-in-law Bhumika Katiyar.
