The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday apprehended Yatin Yadav, the purported mastermind behind the 2022 JKSSB sub-inspector recruitment exam paper leak, as part of an extensive money-laundering investigation.

Yadav, suspected of being a prominent tout, was detained in Jammu under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). He is accused of employing a meticulously orchestrated scheme involving additional touts across Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir to leak the sub-inspector exam paper for payments ranging between Rs 15 lakh to Rs 30 lakh.
