SIT arrests two more accused in TSPSC Exam paper leak case

Hyderabad: The Telangana police's Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) exam paper leak case has made two more arrests. The accused are Bhagwant, who works in the office of Vikarabad Mandal Parishad Development Officer (MPDO), and his brother Ravi Kumar. During the investigation, it was found that Bhagwant had purchased an Assistant Engineer (AE) exam question paper from one of the accused, Dhakya Nayak, for his brother Ravi Kumar. Bhagwant had transferred Rs.2 lakh into Nayak's account for the question paper. With the arrest of these two accused, the total number of people arrested so far in the case has risen to 21. The TSPSC scam came to light on March 12, which led to the cancellation of the Group 1 preliminary examination, Assistant Engineers, AEE, and DAO exams. Praveen Kumar, an employee at TSPSC, had allegedly stolen question papers of some exams from a computer in a confidential section of the Commission and sold them to other accused.
