PUNE: The Indian Army on Sunday cancelled its common entrance exam for recruitment of soldiers (general duty) after a question paper was circulated on social media a day earlier.
In a joint operation on Saturday night, Military Intelligence (MI) unit and Pune police’s crime branch arrested two ex-servicemen and a civil defence cook for leaking a question paper. Some more arrests are expected as raids continued in three other districts, a police officer said.
“We cross-checked and found that the question paper that was circulated on WhatsApp matched with the original question paper,” Pune police commissioner Amitabh Gupta told TOI.
