The Government's Paper Leak Claims
- According to the government, strict action has been taken against paper leak offenders and the law has been made tougher.
- 569 people have been arrested in paper leak and other irregularity cases after forming an SIT.
- The government claims that 410 exams have so far been held without any paper leak.
- It also spoke of making recruitment processes transparent and secure.
Older paper leak cases, such as that of RPSC's suspended member, are sub judice. To verify claims independently, see notices of the Commission/Board and court rulings.
