A Delhi court Tuesday awarded 10 years in jail to former Haryana chief
minister and Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) chief Om Prakash Chautala
and his son Ajay Chautala in a recruitment scam involving junior basic
training (JBT) teachers.
Special CBI Judge Vinod Kumar sentenced the Chautalas and three others to 10 years in jail.
Apart
from the Chautalas, Sanjiv Kumar, the then director of primary
education, Chautala's former officer on special duty Vidya Dhar and his
political adviser Sher Singh Badshami were also awarded the jail terms.
Shortly after the sentence was pronounced, Chautala's supporters threw stones at the court complex.

Prakash Chautala and Ajay Chautala, both legislators from Haryana, were
taken into custody Jan 16 after being convicted for the illegal
recruitment of over 3,000 JBT teachers in the state.
The court had also convicted 53 others for the scam.
Chautala
his son and others were held guilty of offences under the Indian Penal
Code (IPC) and Prevention of Corruption Act (PCA).

420 (cheating), 467 (forgery), 468 (forgery for cheating) and 471 (using
as genuine a forged document) of the IPC and and provisions of the PCA.
