Police says claim of minister/IAS involvement in Goa cash-for-jobs scam is baseless; no evidence against any official

Police in Goa have rejected allegations involving a minister and an IAS officer in a purported “cash-for-jobs” scam, stating there is no evidence against any public official. The article notes that while rumours and complaints were filed alleging influence-peddling and recruitment irregularities, the investigation thus far has not produced any incriminating material.
