AGARTALA: Tripura Police have launched an investigation into an alleged question paper leak in the recruitment examination for 126 Community Health Officer (CHO) posts under the National Health Mission (NHM).
The probe began after job aspirant Ruma Deb filed a complaint at the NCC police station in West Tripura on August 31. Deb alleged that the examination paper was leaked about a day before the written test held on February 1.
She also questioned how some candidates secured 97 and 98 marks despite negative marking, police said.
NCC police station Officer-in-Charge Paritosh Das said investigators had received information that some aspirants obtained the examination questions around 24 hours before the test.
Police recorded the complainant’s statement and began examining the conduct of the examination. Investigators also visited the office of the Society for Entrepreneurship Development (SoFED) at Indranagar as part of the probe.
SoFED is a registered society responsible for conducting written and oral examinations for recruitment to various government organisations.
Police are investigating the allegations concerning the circulation of the question paper and the examination process.
