SOG probes role of Dadhich, 2 aides in other job rackets
Jaipur: Special Operations Group (SOG) is investigating whether assistant accounts officer (AAO) Purushottam Dadhich and his two aides, arrested in June in the 2021 sub-inspector (SI) recruitment exam paper leak case, were also involved in other organised examination frauds.
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.
