Rajasthan SI recruitment scam: Over 120 arrests, exam may be canceled
Rajasthan's 2021 sub-inspector recruitment exam has landed in controversy after the SOG arrested Rajkumar Yadav—a head constable and former personal security officer to ex-CM Ashok Gehlot—and his son Bharat for leaking the question paper.
Rajkumar allegedly passed the leaked paper to Bharat, who cleared the written test but didn't make it through the physical round.
Exam management had major lapses, leaks easier
This scandal has led to over 120 arrests so far, including officials and trainees.
Investigators found major lapses in how the exam was managed—like poor monitoring and last-minute changes—which made it easier for leaks to happen.
Now, a government panel is considering canceling the 2021 exam altogether and may offer a re-test with age relaxation for affected candidates.
Ex-CM Gehlot has called for a thorough investigation without any outside pressure.
