The complainants have not been identified in the FIR. “This year, when the current HPSC chairman recognised him as a fraudster, his agency was not given the work. But he somehow managed to get his job back at the HPSC. He has several agencies which are used for admissions, scanning and paper checking. I suspect, in the last 7-8 years, he has used this for a lot of fraud HPSC admissions,” the FIR reads.
“We have found the proof now. These people have been involved in high level corruption involving several crores,” they said. “They have several agencies which were incharge of checking the papers. These people would instruct aspirants paying them to only attempt 30-40 questions and leave all others unanswered. They would then fill the OMR sheets with correct answers and the aspirants would clear the exam on merit,” the FIR said.
