The J&K administration cancelled the select lists of three JKSSB recruitments in July 2022 — sub-inspector, junior engineer and 1,000 finance accounts assistant posts — over paper-leak and malpractice allegations. The CBI's charge sheet of 12 November 2022 named 33 accused, and the ED later opened a money-laundering case alleging candidates paid Rs 15–30 lakh for access to leaked papers through touts in Jammu and Haryana.
