UP Police Recruitment Exam Paper Leak Case: Bihar Govt Doctor held
Doctor Arrested
Lucknow: In a significant development, the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) arrested a government doctor on Saturday in connection with the alleged leak of question papers for the state police recruitment examination.
Dr Shubham Mandal, a resident of Bihar, working at a government-run primary health centre in Bihar was detained by the STF's Meerut unit, marking a crucial breakthrough in the ongoing investigation.
“Mandal was one of the accused who leaked the question paper stored in a warehouse in Ahmedabad,” read the press statement, reports PTI.
The arrest comes in the wake of intensive scrutiny following the cancellation of the Uttar Pradesh police recruitment test held on February 17 and 18, due to the leak of examination materials.
Sources indicate that Dr Mandal's involvement is allegedly linked to an interstate gang engaged in the unauthorized dissemination of government recruitment exam papers. Investigations suggest collusion between former and current employees of a company entrusted with transporting question papers, leading to the compromise of examination integrity.
