Family members of candidates who were selected in the 2021 police sub-inspector recruitment exam held a protest at Shaheed Smarak on Sunday. They urged the government not to cancel the exam.
The decision to potentially cancel the exam lies with a six-member cabinet committee, following the arrest of several individuals, including trainee sub-inspectors, in connection with a paper leak scandal.
The protesters demanded that strict action be taken against those who used unfair means to pass the exam, but argued that cancelling the entire exam would be unfair to innocent candidates. They held banners and placards, chanted slogans against the cancellation, and requested a meeting with Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, as reported by news agency PTI.
The family members emphasized that they should not suffer due to mistakes made by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC), which conducted the exam, and the individuals involved in the alleged paper leak.
Currently, over 800 candidates who were selected for the exam are undergoing training at police academies. Among them, 50 trainee sub-inspectors have been arrested in connection with the leak. The case is under investigation by the Special Operations Group (SOG) of Rajasthan Police.
