Former Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) member Babulal Katara gave the question paper of the Sub-Inspector 2021 examination to his driver’s son who got selected in the final test, VK Singh, additional director general (ADG) of the Special Operation Group (SOG) told the high court on Tuesday.

“The SOG had recently submitted a fresh report of the case to the court. Giving details from that report, Singh, on Tuesday, told the court that ex-RPSC member, Katara, who was earlier arrested by the SOG along with another former member Ramu Ram Raika for leaking the question paper before the exam, gave a copy of the same even to his driver's son. He got selected in the final exam,” petitioners’ counsel Harendra Neel told the reporters after a special in-camera-trial with the ADG.

“The SOG had arrested Katara’s nephew Rahul Katara and another relative Vijay Damor last week for getting access to the question paper before the exam and appearing for it while hiding their identity to the RPSC,” said Neel quoting Singh.
