Uttar Pradesh police recruitment board chairperson made ‘scapegoat’, claim activists

Activists described the removal of Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment Board chairperson Renuka Mishra as an act of scapegoating intended to hide the morass of the recent U.P. constable examination paper leak episode.

“The decision to remove the chairperson of the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board was taken amid rising public pressure. The official in question has been made an scapegoat to save higher ups in the State administration. This is just an eyewash to hide the systematic corruption and organised syndicate responsible for paper leaks in Uttar Pradesh,” Amitabh Thakur, an anti-corruption activist, alleged.
