The Special Task Force (STF) of Uttar Pradesh Police has arrested six individuals linked to a significant exam paper leak scandal. Those detained include a printing press employee, involved in leaking the examination paper for review officer and assistant review officer posts.

The exam overseen by the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) took place statewide on February 11. However, following reports of the leak, the state government annulled the exam on March 2.

The perpetrators managed to leak the paper through two main methods: scanning it at the exam center and smuggling it out from the printing press. The government has mandated a re-examination within six months, as directed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
