US EditionRajasthan High Court Cancels 2021 Police Recruitment Exam over Paper Leak; 'Slap on Face of Govt', Says Congress
The court found that over 500 candidates cleared the exam through fraud involving RPSC members and cheating gangs, leading to the cancellation of 859 posts and re-examination plans.
- The Rajasthan High Court, led by Justice Sameer Jain, cancelled the 2021 Police Sub-Inspector recruitment exam on Thursday due to large-scale irregularities in Jaipur.
- The cancellation followed revelations that several Rajasthan Public Service Commission members leaked exam papers and answer keys, with the government initially opposing the cancellation.
- An investigation by the SIT and SOG arrested about 125 people, including brokers, candidates, officials, and two former RPSC members involved in the corruption scheme.
- The court declared the exam and all recruitments null and void, ordering 859 tainted vacancies to be added to around 1,015 fresh posts, allowing previously selected candidates to apply again in 2025.
- The ruling highlights systemic fraud and calls for accountability to restore trust in recruitment, with protests ending after the judgment amid ongoing political debate over the case.
