Panaji: Goa Crime Branch on Tuesday stated that their investigation into the allegations by cash-for-jobs scam accused Puja Naik has concluded there was no involvement of any politician or government official, contrary to her recent claims.

Superintendent of Police (Crime Branch) Rahul Gupta told reporters that the investigation into Naik’s allegations—which accused a minister in the Pramod Sawant-led cabinet and two other government officers of being involved in the scam—has been completed.

Naik was booked last year by Goa Police in five separate cases for defrauding gullible youth of crores of rupees by promising government jobs. The accused, currently out on bail, had last month released a video accusing a minister and two government officers of being part of the nexus with her.
