RPSC Scam: Ex-member Arrested in Paper Leak
10 May
Summary
- Former RPSC member Babu Lal Katara arrested in paper leak.
- Accused allegedly secured appointments using forged mark sheets.
- Rs 60 lakh deal allegedly involved in procuring exam paper.
Rajasthan police have arrested three individuals, including former RPSC member Babu Lal Katara, in connection with the alleged leak of the Agriculture Science paper for the 2022 School Lecturer Recruitment Examination. The arrests stem from an investigation that uncovered a scheme involving forged academic documents.
Officials stated that candidates illegally obtained appointments using backdated BEd and MSc Agriculture mark sheets from OPJS University. School lecturer Ashok Kumar Yadav's suspicious performance in the exam led to the probe. He confessed to a Rs 7 lakh deal for a solved paper.
Investigators allege that Katara procured the Agriculture Science paper for Rs 60 lakh and delivered it to his residence, where his nephew allegedly copied it. The leaked papers were then distributed to candidates for monetary gain. Katara has prior arrests in other recruitment paper leak cases.
