CBI registers FIR into alleged irregularities in Himachal Pradesh police constable recruitment

New Delhi [India], August 17 : The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday registered a case into the alleged irregularities in the Himachal Pradesh Police Constable Recruitment Exam conducted in March 2022. 
It was alleged that the question paper got leaked and circulated on social media before the written examination. The document accessed by ANI reads that the Himachal Pradesh Police Constable recruitment exam conducted on March 27, 2022, has been transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation for investigation.
