Jaipur, 19th Oct. The Special Operations Group (SOG) of Rajasthan Police conducted simultaneous raids on Saturday across seven districts in the state, detaining 28 individuals, including five women, in connection with a paper leak case. The raids targeted Jaipur, Jodhpur, Sikar, Bikaner, Churu, Nagaur, and Hanumangarh.
The detained include over six government employees, according to V K Singh, ADG of ATS and SOG. The investigation focuses on irregularities in the Revenue Officer Grade II and Executive Officer Class-IV (Local Self Government Department) Competitive Examination-2022, which was conducted by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) on May 14, 2023.
Following concerns during eligibility checks in December 2023, RPSC discovered unusual patterns among six candidates from Khajwana village in Nagaur district, who lacked general knowledge. The commission’s findings led to a confidential report, which was then forwarded to the SOG for further investigation.
The SOG conducted technical analyses and field verifications, uncovering a conspiracy involving Tulcharam Kaler and associates, who allegedly obtained exam papers prior to the test and facilitated cheating through Bluetooth devices. Among those detained are 12 candidates directly involved in the paper leak and use of such devices.
The detainees include Bhavna Goswami, the wife of the nephew of the suspected gang leader Tulcharam Kaler. Initial investigations have also hinted at irregularities in other recruitment examinations. A special team has been set up to further probe the case, with more details expected as the investigation progresses.
