Rajasthan JEn 2020 leak: exam scrapped; gang leader held in 2024

Stalled documented status: Arrests made

Confidence C — based on the press record (archived below). No primary documents on file yet; treat names of agencies, dates and figures as reported, not established.

The RSMSSB Junior Engineer (Civil) exam of 6 December 2020 was cancelled after the paper leaked; the SOG probe identified an organised network that profited candidates in this and later exams. The network's leader was arrested on 29 February 2024 during the wider crackdown on Rajasthan leak gangs, and told police he had also supplied papers for the 2021 SI exam. The re-test of September 2021 was later found compromised as well (see separate entry).
