CBI has alleged that the beginning point of the outbreak of the SSC jobs-for-cash case has been found, which was the hiring of Santi Prasad Sinha, ex-advisor at West Bengal Central School Service Commission. His hiring was allegedly done through amending the ways of the SSC Panel. Sinha had retired from Yogesh Chandra College in 2012; however Partha Chatterjee brought him on board when the former was 68 years old. He applies for the position and got approved under the twisted strings of programme officer Parna Bose, when the SSC Act of 1997 was amended for him.
