Exam leak: Gujarat Police Constable exam canceled due to question paper leak

Exam leak: Gujarat Police Constable exam canceled due to question paper leak



On Sunday, the written exam for the recruitment of Gujarat Police Constables was scheduled but it was canceled few hours before the exam as exam authorities came to know that the question paper for the exam has been leaked. More than 8 lakh candidates were expected to appear for the exam. The exam was supposed to start at 3 pm at 2,440 centers all over Gujarat. “The written exam was canceled hours before the test was scheduled to start after it came to light that the question paper was leaked,” said Vikas Sahay, chairman of the Lokrakshak Recruitment Board, the body that conducts the examination. "Somebody sent me a list of answers, and they were answers to the questions set for the examination. We called off the examination as it was clear that the paper had been leaked," Sahay said, adding that a police probe would be instituted into the issue. "So far, we have no information as to where the paper got leaked from. We had set up strong rooms with CCTV cameras and security guards in every district to store the papers," added Sahay. Chief Minister Vijay Rupani has already directed the state Home Department to take immediate actions and the opposition party has demanded setting up of a SIT under a sitting high court judge and has alleged that the people of the ruling party are behind the incident. "The BJP government is playing with the future of Gujarat's youth. This government has no right to stay in power if it cannot even conduct an examination without engaging in corruption," Congress spokesperson Manish Doshi said. The candidates who had travelled for the exam from other states were left dejected as they came to know about the cancellation of the exam. Angry students blocked the roads and burnt tyres as a demonstration of their protest.
