Srinagar, January 1st(KB): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a chargesheet against 15 accused, including a former assistant sub-inspector of J&K Police, a head constable of CRPF, a sepoy of the Indian Army, teachers and private individuals, in an ongoing investigation into irregularities in the written examination for the post of Junior Engineer (Civil) conducted by the J&K Services Selection Board (JKSSB).

The CBI investigation spread across several states and involved scrutinizing technical data, bank accounts, toll records and statements of over 100 witnesses.
After a thorough investigation, the chargesheet has been filed against the 15 accused. The accused are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
