Gujarat police on Tuesday arrested three persons including one of the prime accused in connection with the leak of a constable recruitment examination.
As the examination scheduled last Sunday was cancelled, a fresh examination will be held on January 6.
The number of persons arrested in the case has now reached 11, a police official said. Those arrested Thursday were identified as Yashpal Solanki, Indravadan Parmar and Rajendra Vaghela.
Solanki and Vaghela were to appear for the written examination on Sunday, the official said. It was cancelled hours before after the authorities learnt that the paper had been leaked.
Indravadan Parmar and some others hatched the conspiracy to obtain the question paper in advance with the help of a Delhi-based gang, said Gandhinagar Superintendent of Police Mayur Chavda. "Parmar was in contact with this gang which had promised to provide the question paper for money. He and some of his accomplices, who are yet to be arrested, then decided to send some candidates to Delhi to collect the paper," Chavda told reporters.
