Notably, the Jharkhand CID, in its report published in various newspapers today, confirmed the paper leak and revealed that eight jawans drawn from the India Reserve Battalion (IRB), Assam Rifles and Home Guard were arrested in connection with the case. The investigation found that the leaked question papers were circulated before the exam, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the recruitment process.
Background
