JAMMU:
Enforcement Directorate
(ED)’s
Jammu wing
has arrested
Yatin Yadav
, the alleged mastermind of J&K Service Selection Board (JKSSB) Sub-Inspector Recruitment Exam-2022 paper leak case, in an ongoing
money laundering probe
, officials said Monday.
The examination was conducted on March 27, 2022, and the selected list of 1,200 candidates was cancelled by J&K administration following allegations of paper leak and malpractice.
CBI, which was handed over the case, filed a chargesheet against 33 accused, including Yadav from Haryana, in Nov 2022.
“The CBI FIR and chargesheet identified Yadav as the ‘kingpin’ of a sophisticated operation involving touts from Haryana and J&K,” ED said in an official communique, adding that the accused sold the leaked paper to willing aspirants for Rs 15-30 lakh. The payments were collected mainly via cash and through bank accounts routed to Yadav.
Earlier, ED had attached movable properties worth approximately Rs 1 crore in the form of bank balances linked to Yadav and M/s New Global Fumigation Corporation (of which Yadav is proprietor). He was detained under PMLA in the case.
