Eight persons caught carrying copies of the question paper have been arrested, the police said.
The second of a two-part exam to recruit contract nurses under the National Health Mission in Madhya Pradesh was cancelled hours before it started today, after the question paper was found to have been leaked. Eight persons caught carrying copies of the question paper have been arrested, the police said.
This is suspected to be part of a big racket, the police said. The mastermind had got the question paper leaked through the company tasked with holding the exam across the state.
Three of the arrested men are from Gwalior, two each from Prayagraj and Haryana, and one from Bihar. The mastermind, a resident of Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh, is on the run, reported news agency Press Trust of India.
The first round of the examination took place this morning. The one due to begin at 3.30 pm was cancelled. The test was being held to fill up 2,284 vacant posts of contract staff nurses under the National Health Mission. About 45,000 candidates were appearing for the test.
