On Friday, a protest by candidates for the civil service against the purported disclosure of police recruitment exam question papers went into its fifth day. At the entrance to the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission, the candidates staged a protest.
An official notification from the Uttar Pradesh government stated, “The decision has been taken to cancel this examination in view of the highest standards of purity and transparency.”
The notification stated that a FIR has been filed and that the recruitment board had flagged “negligence.” “The STF’s case investigation has been mandated by the government. The notification further stated, “It has been decided that the persons or institutions found guilty will face the strictest possible action.”
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, a leader of the Congress party, criticized Yogi Adityanath’s Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government in Uttar Pradesh on Friday for the recent incidents of recruitment examination paper leaks. She called for a CBI investigation into the incidents and harsh punishment for those responsible.
She mentioned the recent recruitment exam for the Uttar Pradesh Police, stating that over 50 lakh young people submitted their applications, making it the largest test in the state’s history.
“The form was for ₹400 and 48 lakh admit cards were issued. The paper was leaked before the exam. What must the children and their families be going through,” the Congress general secretary said.
The same thing happened in the RO (review offer) examination and the paper got leaked, she said.
