NEW DELHI: The Uttar Pradesh government has taken decisive action in response to allegations of a constable recruitment exam paper leak by removing Renuka Mishra as the chairperson of the UP Police Recruitment and Promotion Board. Mishra’s removal has resulted in her placement on the waitlist, while Director Vigilance Rajiv Krishna has been assigned additional responsibilities by official sources.
The cancellation of the exam, which was held on February 17 and 18, came after allegations of paper leaks, affecting a significant number of candidates, with over 48 lakh individuals impacted. The government promptly ordered a re-test to uphold the integrity of the examination process, scheduling it within six months.
In response to the serious nature of the allegations, the government deployed a Special Task Force (STF) to investigate the matter thoroughly. The STF’s efforts have resulted in the arrest or detention of more than 240 individuals across Uttar Pradesh for their suspected involvement in adopting unfair means during the exam period.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasized the importance of maintaining the sanctity of examinations, stating firmly that those undermining the hard work of aspirants would face severe consequences. The state home department echoed this sentiment, asserting the government’s commitment to transparency and accountability in the examination process.
The government’s response included directing the recruitment board to file FIRs against any instances of negligence and initiating an STF investigation to identify and prosecute those responsible. Additionally, strict action is promised against both individuals and organizations implicated in the alleged malpractice.
To facilitate the re-examination process, the government announced that UPSRTC government buses would provide free transportation for candidates to test centers. This initiative aims to ensure that candidates have access to the opportunity to retake the exam under fair and transparent conditions.
Recent developments have seen progress in the investigation, with the STF apprehending two suspects in Lucknow on March 2. Ajay Singh Chauhan and Sonu Singh Yadav, residents of Prayagraj district, were allegedly part of a gang involved in facilitating question paper leaks and arranging solvers for competitive exams.
The STF’s seizure of relevant documents, mobile phones, and cash from the suspects underscores the seriousness of the situation. An FIR has been filed against them under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, reflecting the government’s commitment to pursuing justice in this matter. These measures collectively demonstrate the government’s determination to uphold the integrity of the examination process and ensure accountability for any wrongdoing.
