The 2022 constable recruitment exam in Himachal Pradesh was marred by allegations of a paper leak, leading to its cancellation. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu confirmed that investigations are ongoing, indicating that they are expanding beyond the immediate case. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has recommended action against five police officials, including Indian Police Service (IPS) officers, for negligence and mishandling of the case. Sukhu stated that the government is taking the matter seriously and is examining all aspects of the alleged corruption, assuring that strict action will follow based on evidence. The investigation has uncovered that the question paper was allegedly stolen during printing at a private press in Ghaziabad, with multiple security lapses noted, including the absence of police personnel to safeguard the papers. The CBI's findings have led to renewed scrutiny from the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, which alleges inaction from the state government.
