On HC nudge, Rajasthan halts training of SIs picked via leak-marred test – Times of India

JAIPUR: Rajasthan police Friday suspended training of all sub-inspectors and platoon commanders selected through the leak-marred recruitment exam of 2021, complying with a high court stay on the process.
The SIs, who were undergoing training at Rajasthan Police Academy in Jaipur, were sent to their allotted districts for practical training on Dec 31 despite the HC order, of Nov 18 last year, to maintain status quo on their field postings and training. HC reaffirmed its stay and warned state of contempt proceedings if the trainees were posted or trained further. DGP UR Sahoo Friday instructed all candidates to remain stationed in their district or battalion headquarters: “No duty or training shall be assigned to them until further notice.” The exam was held in Sept 2021 when Ashok Gehlot-led Congress govt was in office. Following the scandal, over 86 persons were arrested.
