CAP-Sikkim Stages Gangtok Dharna Over Alleged Favoritism in Police Sub-Inspector Selections

The party demands marks disclosure, exam cancellation, SPSC resignations, with court action under consideration.

Overview

  • CAP-Sikkim alleges the SPSC’s sub-inspector recruitment was compromised by political influence, claiming nearly 80% of selectees have links to the ruling SKM.
  • The protest concluded with a sit-in near the Gangtok District Administration Centre, where participants raised slogans against the Prem Singh Tamang government.
  • The party calls for publication of detailed marksheets for all stages of the process, cancellation of the exam, resignations at the commission, and a fresh recruitment drive.
  • Leaders say they plan to approach the court to seek a stay on the entire recruitment, framing the action as a bid to protect merit-based hiring.
  • The SPSC declared results for 39 posts on November 26, and reports note no official response or independent verification of the allegations so far.
