Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], October 7 (ANI): The Special Operations Group (SOG) has arrested two trainee sub-inspectors (SIs) from the Rajasthan Police Academy (RPA) in connection with the alleged 2021 Rajasthan Police SI recruitment exam paper leak case, officials said on Monday.
The arrested trainee SIs have been identified as Dinesh Kumar and Priyanka Kumari–both siblings and residents of Jalore district. They were produced in court and sent to police custody till October 11.
Their father, Bhagirath, is absconding, officials said.
SOG ADG VK Singh said that trainee SIs Priyanka and her brother Dinesh, both natives of Jalore, have been arrested as part of the investigation in the case.
The duo used the leaked paper to pass the exam, and authorities were interrogating them further.
According to officials, the siblings allegedly received the question paper through mafia member Bhupendra Saran’s brother, Gopal Saran, a suspended sub-inspector in Jaipur. They were shown the exam paper in a car at the 200 ft Bypass area.
Gopal was selected as an SI in 2014 after clearing the recruitment exam in 2011.
In the same case, Santoshi, sister of Manju Bishnoi–who was arrested earlier from Barmer–has also been caught.
Chhammi Bai, alias Samita, allegedly trained and appeared for the exam as a dummy candidate. She has been involved in not only the SI recruitment exam but other exams as well. She is currently in police custody and on remand until October 10, officials said.
The SOG has so far arrested more than 40 selected trainee SIs in connection with the recruitment exam paper leak case, along with others.
The Rajasthan government has also formed a ministerial committee to review the 2021 police recruitment exam, and decide whether the exam should be cancelled.
The committee’s first meeting was held at Secretariat in Jaipur on Monday.
More details are awaited. (ANI)
