The Indian Express on Wednesday accessed a copy of the judgment that was passed on June 15. His wife had apparently taken “loans” from different persons to purchase a hotel, an idea which she later gave up, he had claimed. While former food and civil supply director Lego alias Osik is the first person to have been convicted in the multi-crore PDS scandal, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Arunachal Police had in August 2010 arrested former chief minister Gegong Apang for his alleged involvement in it. It was around that time that he, in his official capacity had issued cheques to a number of PDS contractors from a government account (No 4665) in the same bank in Itanagar.
