DEHRADUN: In its ongoing investigation into the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) question paper leak, the STF has found out about the alleged involvement of a member of the Uttarkashi zila panchayat in leaking the question paper.
According to STF sources, the suspect is associated with a leading political party and was involved in buying the question paper from the accused staffer of the Lucknow-based printing press where it was printed. One of the STF officers told TOI, “His name came under the radar after the interrogation of former UKSSSC employee Manoj Joshi, who is one of the main accused. It has come to light that the zila panchayat member provided money to buy the question paper from the accused in the Lucknow printing press, who has already been arrested.” The STF officer added that the suspect has not been booked in the case so far.
