The Congress government in Rajasthan on July 4 decided to introduce a stringent law to prevent recruitment exam paper leaks by enhancing the maximum punishment for the offence from the current 10 years to life imprisonment. A Bill for increase in the sentence will be introduced in the next session of the State Assembly.
Govt seeks transparency
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said here that while the Bill would be brought in the upcoming Assembly session, additional steps would be taken to ensure transparency in holding the competitive exams. “I have instructed the Chief Secretary to formulate a better procedure for this in consultation with all stakeholders,” he said.
