ITANAGAR, Jan 21: Under mounting pressure from the All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU), the Directorate of Elementary Education has re-suspended two officials, Posi Gamlin and Iken Bagra both serving as Block Education Officers at the DDSE Office, West Siang District, Aalo. The decision comes a day after AAPSU issued a seven-day ultimatum demanding strict action against officials implicated in the infamous APPSC job scam.
Earlier on Monday, AAPSU had threatened to lock down the Education Department offices if the government failed to act against those involved. The union criticized the reinstatement of the officials in October 2024 and accused the government of failing to uphold accountability in a scandal that had already eroded public trust.
The re-suspension order cites the need to ensure a fair and impartial inquiry into Case No. 12/2022, which pertains to the APPSC paper leakage. The case involves serious allegations under Sections 120B, 420, 406, 407, and 409 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 7 and 8(13)(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The officials were originally suspended in December 2022 but were reinstated following a directive from the Gauhati High Court in July 2024.
In its recent order, the Directorate of Elementary Education emphasized that the suspension was necessary to avoid interference with ongoing disciplinary proceedings. Both officials have been directed to remain at the DDSE Office, West Siang District, Aalo, and are prohibited from leaving the headquarters without prior approval.
Among the reinstated individuals are Tayang Gaduk (Head Assistant) and  Radek Romin (Block Education Officer), all of whom were allegedly implicated in the APPSC paper leak fiasco. However, the suspension status of the other two individuals remains unclear.
