Dehradun, Sept. 22 -- A day after the arrest of former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and 2022 paper leak accused Hakam Singh Rawat (42) for allegedly trying to dupe aspirants of the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) graduate-level written exam by promising them selection, the Uttarakhand Berozgar Sangh (unemployment union) has claimed that the exam held on Sunday was leaked. Ram Kandwal, secretary of the sangh, alleged, "The exam was scheduled from 11 am to 1 pm on Sunday, but by 11:35 am, the paper was already leaked. Almost the entire question paper was the same. We had urged the government to cancel the exam due to this disaster, but it went ahead anyway. We had demand that CM Pushkar Singh Dhami order a CBI probe, when papers were leaked in 2022. But they paid no heed to our demands." He added, "Youth from across the state will gather at Parade Ground on Monday and march to the secretariat to demand an explanation." UKSSSC chairman GS Martolia, however, denied the allegations, saying, "Three pages of a particular series of the question paper from one exam centre surfaced, but they were not even readable. It is possible that a candidate clicked a picture and sent it via WhatsApp. We are investigating how this could have happened despite jammers being in place at the centres." The claims came after Uttarakhand Police on Saturday claimed that there was no breach in the integrity or confidentiality of the examination. Rawat, a key figure in the 2022 UKSSSC paper leak scandal, was earlier arrested in August 2022. He is a former zila panchayat member of Uttarkashi, reportedly demanded Rs.12-15 lakh from candidates, promising to secure their selection. Police said if candidates failed, Rawat planned to claim the money would be "adjusted" in future exams. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ajai Singh said, "Our team, along with the Special Task Force, arrested the two accused in a joint operation. We had been monitoring suspicious activity ahead of the graduate-level exam on September 21, following a tip-off that some people were trying to exploit aspirants by promising selection. During surveillance, we found Pankaj Gaur in contact with Hakam Singh, demanding Rs.12-15 lakh from candidates." He added, "During interrogation, the accused admitted to approaching candidates with fraudulent offers. A case has been registered at Kotwali Patel Nagar under the Uttarakhand Competitive Examination Act, based on a complaint by Inspector Mukesh Tyagi, in-charge of SOG. However, we found no breach in the integrity or confidentiality of the examination."...
