Yatin Yadav, the alleged mastermind behind the 2022 JKSSB exam paper leak, has been remanded to seven days in Enforcement Directorate custody. Arrested under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, Yadav is accused of orchestrating a scheme to leak exam papers for monetary gain. The investigation is ongoing.

In a significant development, Yatin Yadav, alleged kingpin of the 2022 JKSSB sub-inspector recruitment exam paper leak, has been placed in a seven-day Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody. The special court's decision comes under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

On Tuesday, the special public prosecutor, Ashwani Khajuria, successfully acquired the remand from the Special Judge, anti-corruption (CBI cases), Jammu Bala Jyoti. Yadav, a 43-year-old resident of Rewari, Haryana, was produced in court by ED’s Assistant Director, Rahul Verma.

Alleged to have orchestrated a well-crafted scheme involving other accused, Yadav enabled candidates to access leaked papers for sums ranging from Rs 15 lakh to Rs 30 lakh. Following the examinations, substantial cash payments were routed into Yadav’s accounts. The ED had previously attached his assets worth Rs 1 crore.
