The Enforcement Directorate has begun a pan-India crackdown on examination paper leaks, registering Enforcement Case Information Reports in Rajasthan, Haryana, Assam, Bihar, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Jharkhand. The agency is investigating money laundering under the PMLA, including the NEET-UG paper leak where the CBI has already filed a chargesheet against 13 accused, reports India Today. In Jharkhand, the ED has taken cognisance of a state CID FIR into irregularities in the JSSC-CGL recruitment exam. Former JPSC chairperson L Khiangte has been arrested and three JPSC members resigned after being summoned for questioning, India Today adds. The ED will trace alleged proceeds of crime and may attach assets.
