JAIPUR: Days after claiming foolproof security arrangements for REET, police are now trying to ascertain how the question paper reached the accused before the exam in Sawai Madhopur.
Police had arrested nine persons in the case, but don’t know yet who was the first to send the question paper despite suspension of mobile internet services and heavy security arrangements.
Soon after Sunday’s REET, Sawai Madhopur police had arrested one Yaduveer Singh, a head constable, his wife Seema Gujjar, Devendra Singh, another constable and his wife Laxmi Gujjar, Ashish Meena, Usha Meena, Manisha Meena and Dilkhush Meena. Police later arrested Sanjay Meena (25) who had allegedly provided the question paper and shared it with others.
The real source of the alleged leak remains elusive. Sources told TOI that REET papers were brought to Sawai Madhopur from Ajmer under strict surveillance and kept inside strong rooms which were guarded by armed police commandos. Question papers were then ferried to different centres in the district amidst heavy security bando bast. The REET question papers were guarded by armed police commandos round-the-clock.
Despite tall claims of unprecedented security arrangements, Rajasthan police said they have to investigate as to who first got the question paper before passing it on to others.
“Some more suspects are under the scanner and once they are arrested, only then it will become clear if the paper had indeed got leaked and if yet, who played what part,” an official said. While one RAS and two RPS officials posted in Sawai Madhopur were shunted after the administration and the police found lapses and irregularities, officials are tightlipped about the modus operandi of the accused.
