Overview
- The Enforcement Directorate has provisionally attached movable and immovable assets it says were bought with proceeds from the UKSSSC paper‑leak racket and has filed a PMLA chargesheet in Dehradun.
- Investigators say the scheme was run by an organised syndicate led by Hakam Singh Rawat that included employees of the RMS Techno Solutions printing agency, public servants, middlemen and facilitators who distributed leaked question papers to candidates.
- ED financial probes found layered money flows, record of large cash deposits and attempts to disguise illegal receipts as legitimate income, and the agency reports Rs 95 lakh was received by the alleged mastermind from candidates.
- Searches at 14 premises recovered incriminating documents, digital devices, property records and cash, and multiple state police chargesheets and SIT findings have been folded into the federal PMLA case.
- Uttarakhand’s 2023 law tightening penalties for paper leaks has allowed non‑bailable, cognisable action and asset recovery, a shift that could strengthen prosecutions and deter future exam fraud while offering victims a route to restitution.
