Jagdish who is secretary of UPPSC said, “Following this, CB-CID was entrusted with the task of probing the paper leak episode. The agency submitted a final report in court on September, 2018. However, Special judicial magistrate, CB-CID quashed the report on 01st January 2020 and directed the agency for re-investigation.”
He also added that, “we constituted a two-member panel who recommended that re-investigation will lead to postponement of result for an indefinite period, in view of the court order. Therefore, it has been decided to cancel the previous papers and hold re-examination. The candidates who had applied will not be required to apply again and those who have registered can take the examination again.”
