SOG probes role of Dadhich, 2 aides in other job rackets
Officials said Dadhich, along with Kundan Kumar Pandya (also an AAO) and Sandeep Kumar Lata, a Grade III teacher, had close links with Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) member Babu Lal Katara, who was previously arrested in another high-profile paper leak case.
The three were arrested by the SOG on June 5 in connection with the SI exam leak. Investigators now suspect the trio may be part of a wider network involved in multiple exam cheating operations.
As reported earlier, Katara allegedly handed over six sets of SI 2021 question papers to fellow RPSC member Ramu Ram Raika. These papers were later leaked to Dadhich, who allegedly circulated them for profit almost a month before the exam.
SOG sources added that Katara was earlier arrested for leaking the question paper of the senior teacher recruitment exam held in 2022. The recurrence of such leaks has raised questions about the possible deeper involvement of Dadhich and his network in other RPSC-linked exam frauds.

"We are examining digital evidence, communication logs, and financial transactions to assess whether the accused were involved in earlier scams," said an official. Investigators are also preparing to question additional suspects believed to have accessed or benefited from leaked papers.
Officials said Katara's association with Dadhich during his posting in Udaipur may have enabled access to sensitive exam materials. "Our focus is to identify those who received the leaked SI papers and determine how long the accused accessed the question papers," the official added.

RPSC files FIR against steno for fake disability cert
Ajmer: Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) Thursday registered an FIR against its office stenographer, Arun Sharma, for having used a fake disability certificate to secure the job in the recruitment exam of 2018. According to the FIR, the exam was conducted on July 4, 2018, with five posts of stenographers reserved for candidates blind or with low vision. The FIR stated that Sharma applied for this category and submitted a certificate purportedly prepared by a medical board for permanent low vision, showing 70% damage in the eyes. During verification of documents on April 4, 2022, based on the medical certificate, RPSC approved provisional selection of Sharma. He was directed to submit his medical certificate to JLN Medical College for verification. On June 24, 2022, Sharma joined duties as stenographer in RPSC. On June 6, 2024, RPSC decided to re-check certificates of all those who had been given appointments in the last five years. An internal committee sent a request to JLN Medical College to reconfirm the certificates. This time, Sharma skipped appearing before the medical board. After legal notices were served on him, Sharma appeared before the board at SMS Hospital Jaipur on April 23 this year, and the medical board conducted a test. The report was submitted on May 20, showing that Sharma had low visibility but only less than 30 percent, and, therefore, did not fall in the category of blind or low vision. JLN Medical College, on July 18, declared that no certificate was submitted by Sharma for verification. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
