"Medical seat scam in Puducherry is a case of criminal culpability and administrative failure at political and administrative levels," Bedi tweeted this evening.

On September 21, she thanked the CBI for booking two IAS officers and 11 other government officials in connection with the corruption allegations surrounding the issue.

In a separate Whatsapp message to media persons on Friday, Bedi said the trouble with the officers booked by the CBI face was "totally preventable" had they done their duty without fear or favour.

"Instead they kept falling prey to irregular orders. They even lied. CBI investigation will not go away," she said.

She said from next year the admission process should be more technology-driven to avoid such situations.

Further, Bedi urged the officials to "tell the truth" about whose instructions they were following.
