The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Another arrest four years later does little to restore faith in Jharkhand's recruitment exams. The narrative of a few bad apples running a leak network is convenient, but it ignores that the same agencies keep winning contracts. The real test is whether the CID names the officials who selected these companies and whether any of them face action. Until then, it is just more theatre.
