UP STF to probe Anamika mystery

Lucknow: The government on Saturday handed over the probe into the Anamika Shukla case to Uttar Pradesh special task force (STF) to uncover larger conspiracy in the use of fraudulent means to bag jobs in various Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBV) across the state.
Confirming the development, inspector general of police, STF, Amitabh Yash told TOI that those involved in the scam would be behind the bars soon.
Various units of the STF started working on the case. Police teams visited Prayagraj, Bareilly and Aligarh on Saturday night.
An official privy to the investigation said, “Probe in all seven districts – Prayagraj, Aligarh, Rae Bareli, Saharanpur, Bareilly, Kasganj and Ambedkarnagar – where FIRs have been registered has been transferred to us.”
STF has also collected documents related to the case, including marksheets of the real Anamika Shukla, and will interrogate Supriya (arrested in Kasganj) and Anita Devi (arrested in Mainpuri) who used the documents to get job in KGBVs.
A ten-member team has been formed which has prepared questions for interrogation of arrested women.
In a related development, another team has been formed to visit Kasganj and question Jaswant Singh Jatav (42) of Nagla Khar village.
His younger brother, Pushpendra Singh Jatav (32) alias Nitu Raj, is absconding since June 6 and has been named by the arrested women as the one who gave them fake marksheets of Anamika Shukla.
