More than 270 candidates have been detained from Hazaribagh, Jharkhand in connection with the question paper leak in Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE)-3 of Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC). The Economic Offenses Unit (EOU) of Bihar Police has taken this action on the basis of secret information. Officials said that searches were conducted at several places in Hazaribagh on March 14 and 15. During this, it was revealed that question papers brought from many places in Bihar were provided to the candidates of TRE-3.
According to the statement, on the day of examination on March 15, the candidates had to leave for their respective examination centers at around 3 am. All of them have been detained and interrogated. Some criminals of the gang involved in this have been caught. The police had arrested five accused a few days ago. He was the mastermind of leaking the question paper of TRE-3. Police had recovered question papers, computer, laptop, printer and pen drive from them. Investigation revealed that the accused had taken a huge amount of money from each candidate for providing the question paper.
Mafia rule in NDA rule
Now politics has started in this matter. The parties and the opposition are making statements against each other. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav alleged that the leak of question paper of teacher recruitment exam conducted by PSC is proof that mafia rule is running in the state under the NDA rule. We had provided teaching jobs to two lakh candidates in 70 days, but no paper was leaked. Now during the NDA rule, the question paper of TRE-3 was leaked. This has happened because of mafia rule. Yadav said that cases of paper leak have also come to light from Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
Strict action will be taken against the accused
Deputy Chief Minister and state BJP president Samrat Chaudhary hit back, saying that when the RJD was ruling the state, a chairman of the state Public Service Commission (PSC) had to go to jail. However, he did not reveal the name of the Chairman of Bihar Public Service Commission. Chaudhary said that strict action will be taken against all those involved in the paper leak. Those involved in this incident are criminals. Investigation is ongoing. No one will be spared.
