The Punjab government has started the process to charge sheet IAS officer Puneet Goyal, who had joined the state government as Punjab Civil Services (PCS) officer and the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) had promoted him to the IAS cadre in July last year, for his alleged corrupt practices in the state technical education and industrial training board’s revaluation scam during the previous SAD-BJP regime.
The allegations state that as secretary of the board, numerous students of the polytechnics and ITIs, even those who had scored a zero were passed in revaluation of papers on monetary considerations. It was in December last year that the technical education and industrial training minister Charanjit Singh Channi had recommended charge sheet against Goyal for his alleged role in the scam. In order to do so, during the preliminary inquiry, it had come to fore that during Goyal’s tenure as board’s secretary, board’s functionaries had even allotted examination centres to such colleges that did not fulfil the minimum required criteria for running an examination centre. Following which, the minister had suspended board’s registrar Navneet Walia and had removed Goyal as the board’s secretary in May 2017.
