Overview

  • Head Constable Rajkumar Yadav, who served as Ashok Gehlot’s personal security officer, and his son Bharat were detained in late-night raids on August 9.
  • Both defendants were remanded by a Jaipur court until August 12 amid ongoing interrogations by the Special Operations Group.
  • Investigators allege the duo obtained the leaked 2021 SI recruitment paper from former RPSC member Babu Lal Katara via aide Kundan Pandey.
  • The probe has so far led to more than 120 arrests, including 54 trainee sub-inspectors, and officials expect further high-profile names to emerge.
  • A BJP-appointed Cabinet sub-committee advised against scrapping the exam even after the SOG recommended its cancellation, and the government has upheld that stance.
