Overview

• Police arrested candidate Khalid Malik in Haridwar and his sister Sabia in the UKSSSC leak case, with an FIR registered under the state’s 2023 anti‑cheating ordinance in Dehradun’s Raipur police station.
• Investigators allege Malik photographed three pages carrying 12 questions inside Adarsh Bal Sadan Inter College and sent them to Sabia, who forwarded them to an acquaintance to obtain answers.
• Dehradun police say no organised gang has been established so far and are probing both lone‑actor and conspiracy angles, with Sabia sent to judicial custody.
• The state announced an SIT led by an Additional SP and supervised by a retired judge, tasked with a statewide probe and a one‑month deadline, and directed UKSSSC to halt further steps until the report.
• Protests by job seekers intensified as the chief minister pledged strict action, while reports of missing jammers and limited room‑level CCTV at the Haridwar centre raised concerns over exam safeguards.
