After conducting raids in relation to the suspected leak of question papers for the competitive test for 2nd grade teachers in 2022, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) confiscated Rs 24 lakh in cash along with incriminating documents, according to authorities on Saturday.

The investigation team found evidence that the accused people conspired with one another to leak the General Knowledge question paper for the Senior Teacher Grade II Competitive Examination in 2022.

 

The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) planned to hold this test on December 21, 22, and 24 of 2022. Candidates received the leaked documents for payments ranging from Rs. 8 to Rs. 10 lakh per person.

 

In connection with this case, the ED searched 15 locations on June 5 and found damning paper records and digital files.

 

Following this, on August 18, the accused individuals’ moveable and immovable properties worth roughly Rs 3.11 crore were provisionally attached.
