“In pursuance of the Indian Army’s resolve to ensure transparency and eliminate corrupt practices in recruitment, Indian Army and Maharashtra State Police are jointly investigating the recent case of leakage of question paper for Common Entrance Examination for recruitment of Soldiers (General Duty),” it said.
The findings of the inquiry will be incorporated into the existing system of recruitment to make it more foolproof and robust, it said.
“Due process of law will be followed to proceed against persons who may have violated the standard operating procedures for the conduct of such examinations,” the statement added.
Two cases have been registered in the city following the paper leak.
