Cracking Down: The Rajasthan Paper Leak Scandal

The Rajasthan Police's Special Operations Group raided seven districts, detaining 28 individuals involved in a major paper leak scandal. The operation targeted government employees and candidates cheating in the Revenue Officer Grade II exam, following irregularities discovered by the RPSC.

In a major development, the Rajasthan Police's Special Operations Group (SOG) conducted raids across seven districts on Saturday, arresting 28 individuals, including five women, in connection to a widespread paper leak case.

The raids, targeting areas such as Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Sikar, revealed the involvement of over six government employees, according to ADG ATS and SOG V K Singh. The investigation centered around the Revenue Officer Grade II exam conducted by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) in May last year.

Irregularities in this examination led to a comprehensive probe, uncovering that six candidates from Nagaur's Khajwana village lacked general knowledge, sparking suspicion. A confidential RPSC report identified a gang led by Tulcharam Kaler, who allegedly enabled cheating using Bluetooth devices. The scandal unfolds as further irregularities in other exams surface, prompting a deeper investigation.
