Meanwhile, the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) has ordered a thorough investigation into the matter and sought evidence regarding the alleged leaks on social media platforms. The board has issued a notice urging general public and candidates to submit “their representation along with relevant proofs and evidence”.
The recruitment drive by the police department aimed to fill up a total of 60,244 male and female constable posts, through a combined recruitment exam.
