The Special Operations Group has arrested a suspected participant in the paper‑leak conspiracy that targeted the 2022 senior teacher recruitment exam.
The Special Operations Group (SOG) announced that it has taken into custody an individual alleged to be part of the gang that leaked question papers for the 2022 senior teacher recruitment examination. The arrest follows a months‑long probe by state police agencies into irregularities reported during the exam process.
According to officials, the suspect is believed to have facilitated the unauthorized access and distribution of the exam paper to a network of intermediaries. The leak was said to have compromised the fairness of the selection process, prompting a swift crackdown by law‑enforcement.
Police officials declined to disclose the name of the arrested person, citing ongoing investigations, but confirmed that further arrests are expected as the inquiry progresses. Charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Indian Penal Code are likely to be filed once evidence is formally examined.
The education department has reiterated its commitment to ensuring a transparent recruitment system and has urged candidates to cooperate with authorities. The incident has reignited calls for stricter security measures in future examinations.
