HPSC dental surgeon exam — deputy secretary held with Rs 2.24 crore

Stalled documented status: Arrests made

Confidence B — core facts citable to court or official records; some primary documents not yet on file.

Haryana's vigilance bureau, acting on an input routed through the chief minister's cell, caught HPSC deputy secretary Anil Nagar and two associates in November 2021 for manipulating scores of the 26 September dental surgeon qualifying test. The bureau said it seized Rs 2.24 crore in cash and property papers, and questioned the officer about other recruitments. The OMR-score tampering placed the commission's own confidential branch at the centre of the case.
