Mastermind Behind JKSSB Paper Leak Arrested by Enforcement Directorate

The Enforcement Directorate arrested Yatin Yadav, the alleged mastermind behind the 2022 JKSSB sub-inspector recruitment exam paper leak case. He was apprehended in Jammu under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Yadav, along with other accused touts, orchestrated the leak, collecting payments from candidates, which were funneled into his bank accounts.

The Enforcement Directorate has taken into custody Yatin Yadav, the alleged mastermind behind the 2022 JKSSB sub-inspector recruitment exam paper leak scandal, as part of an ongoing money-laundering probe, officials confirmed on Monday.

Yadav, identified as a suspected tout, was detained in Jammu under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). According to insiders, the JKSSB sub-inspector exam took place on March 27, 2022.

The ED's investigation originates from a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR and charge sheet, which identified Yadav as the 'kingpin' of a sophisticated operation involving other touts from Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. This network allegedly secured candidates willing to pay between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 30 lakh for access to the leaked exam paper.

Following the examination, Yadav reportedly directed the collected payments, predominantly in cash, into his bank accounts. In previous actions, the ED had attached Yadav's bank accounts, a business named New Global Fumigation Corporation, and assets valued at Rs 1 crore, reinforcing the investigation's findings.
