The Jharkhand CID has arrested Mithilesh Singh, also known as RK Singh, from Delhi in connection with the JSSC Junior Engineer paper leak case, four years after the examination was cancelled. Singh is the operator-cum-director of ICN India, the agency that conducted the exam, and is a close associate of key accused Abhay Tiwari, ABP Live reports. Investigators suspect Singh was part of a network that leaked question papers, tampered with OMR sheets, and took money from candidates. He has also been accused of obtaining JPSC answer sheets and having them written outside. Singh had been jailed in earlier exam-related cases and is now being brought to Ranchi.
