The sequence reveals that CBI has so far arrested 13 accused including two constables of J&K Police, a CRPF official, an ex-Constable of CRPF, a government teacher, a Commandant of BSF & an ASI of J&K Police.
It was found during investigation that the Packing Incharge of Printing Press allegedly stole the question paper of JKPSI examination while the same was being packed & sold the leaked question paper to an accused of Rewari who was arrested earlier.
It was further alleged that the accused based in Haryana contacted the other touts based in J&K for soliciting candidates for sale of leaked question paper.
