ED Files Supplementary PMLA Chargesheet Against 18 in UP Exam Paper Leaks

The move expands a money-laundering probe that traced funds from the RO/ARO leak to the police constable breach.

Overview

  • The supplementary prosecution complaint was filed before the special PMLA court at the CBI Court in Lucknow.
  • The accused include alleged mastermind Rajiv Nayan Mishra as the ED maps a wider financial network tied to multiple paper leaks.
  • Investigators say leaked papers with solved answers were sold to candidates, leading to cancellations of the 2023 RO/ARO and police constable exams and subsequent re-exams.
  • Properties worth about ₹1.02 crore identified as proceeds of crime were provisionally attached in August 2024 and later confirmed by the PMLA Adjudicating Authority.
  • The probe stems from a UP STF FIR dated March 6, 2024, with the ED earlier taking two suspects into custody and filing a separate complaint against seven in January 2025 that is now on trial.
