Overview

• Special CBI judge Amit V Kharkar found Ramesh Chand Saini and Rambir Singh Rawat guilty of criminal conspiracy and offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
• Both received three-year prison terms and ₹50,000 fines, with sentences suspended and bail granted to allow appeals.
• The court held Saini had exclusive custody of the question papers from setting them to taking them on a pen drive to a Pune press, and that seized papers matched those he set.
• CBI raids at Mumbai’s United Lodge on September 25–26, 2010 recovered question sets and candidates’ notes, and identical papers were seized at Rawat’s coaching centre in Visakhapatnam.
• Four co-accused, including naval administrative officer Ram Chandra Naik, were acquitted for lack of proof, while the printing-press owner implicated by prosecutors died during the probe.
