Initial findings point to a candidate named Shan Ali Jakhroani as the person responsible for the breach. According to officials, a page from the exam paper appeared online around 3:00 PM and was later removed. Investigators were able to match the leaked content with Jakhroani’s test paper.
While the individual suspected of leaking the paper has been disqualified from the recruitment process, investigators are still trying to uncover how the paper was transmitted. They are examining whether the content was shared through a mobile phone, a hidden device, or another method.
