DEHRADUN: Uttarakhand Subordinate Selection Service Commission (UKSSSC) chairman S Raju on Friday resigned from his post amid an ongoing investigation of an alleged paper leak.

State government authorities refused to comment on the matter terming it a subjudice and sensitive one.

“Either he was told to resign or he offered his resignation by himself remains a question. The matter is highly sensitive and is subjudice. We cannot comment on this,” said a state cabinet minister.

Raju, a 1984 batch IAS officer, retired in 2016 following which he was appointed as the chairman of the commission.

Uttarakhand Special Task Force has arrested a total of 13 people and recovered ₹83 lakh in connection with Uttarakhand Subordinate Selection Service Commission (UKSSSC) paper leak case.

According to the STF, Chauhan has been associated with the two policemen arrested in the paper leak case a day ago in Kashipur town of Udham Singh Nagar district.

The accused has been arrested on the basis of evidence after a long interrogation of the STF till late at night.

The STF has conducted raids across the hill state in the past 10-days.

The investigation into the matter has revealed that the strings of this scam are also connected to Lucknow in the neighbouring state of Uttar Pradesh.

Interestingly, Google search history has uncovered many important secrets related to the UKSSSC exam paper leak.
