The special investigation cell of the Arunachal Pradesh Police is probing the alleged paper leakage case after a group of ‘deprived’ candidates of APPSCCE-2017 lodged an FIR, basing on which the SIC (vigilance) had registered a case on October 19, 2022.
Further, all complaints related to other various examinations conducted by the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) from 2014 onwards have been amalgamated with the instant case for detailed investigation, the SP said.
