Rajasthan police arrested one person and busted a gang after the answer sheet for the state's Forest Guard Recruitment exam got leaked on social media following which the state's Staff Selection Board cancelled the second shift exam.
The arrested was identified as Deepak Sharma, a resident of Karauli who is a technical assistant of the state's electricity department. Police also detained ten people in the case.
The second shift of the exam to recruit 2300 officials was held on November 12 which was scheduled between 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM.
Rajsamand district Superintendent of Police Sudhir Chaudhary said that Deepak Sharma received question papers on his mobile phone before the exam.
"We had received input through Special Operations Group (SOG) about a person in the Railmagra area of Rajsamand district who had solved the paper for the Forest Guard recruitment exam and sent it to some people in Dausa and Sawai Madhopur," said SP Chaudhary.
The paper was provided to Deepak Sharma by Pawan Saini, a resident of Gangapur City in Sawai Madhopur district. The papers were received on the social media application WhatsApp
Taking action over the matter, the police detained a total of 10 accused from Karauli, Sawai Madhopur, Dausa, and Delhi.
SP Sudhir said, "The transaction of money has also been done and the investigation is still going on. We believe that the mastermind of this gang could be someone other than Pawan Saini. Along with SOG Rajsamand Police, Bhiwadi Police, Jaipur Police, and Dausa Police are also engaged in the investigation of this case."
