Jaipur: The Special Operations Group (SOG) of Rajasthan Police on Thursday arrested a 43-year-old suspended constable of the Rajasthan Armed Constabulary (RAC). He was carrying a reward of Rs 50,000 for information leading to his arrest in connection with the 2021 Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment exam paper leak case.ADG (SOG) VK Singh said the accused, identified as Shiv Singh, a resident of Sikar district and formerly posted with the 10th Battalion RAC in Bikaner, was absconding since his name surfaced in the paper leak conspiracy.According to the SOG, Shiv conspired with co-accused Sandeep Kumar Lata to procure and distribute leaked question papers in exchange for money. The duo allegedly helped two candidates—Surendra Kumar Bagdiya and Ravindra Singh—gain access to the leaked material ahead of the examination. Investigators said that Lata handed over the leaked question papers and answer keys to Ravindra Singh at his residence in Udaipur. Ravindra then passed the materials to Surendra Bagdiya, who later secured the third position in the final SI trainee merit list. Once sufficient evidence was collected against the accused, he went underground. An arrest warrant was issued against him by a Jaipur court in September last year. Subsequently, the SOG announced a cash reward of Rs 50,000 for information leading to his arrest.
