Three defence personnel, suspected to be involved in the Army recruitment exam paper leak, have been detained in Nagpur, police said on Wednesday.
The Army authorities had detained three suspects, Ravinder Kumar, Dharamvir Singh and Nikam Kumar Pandey, in Nagpur, Thane city police Commissioner Param Bir Singh told reporters at a press conference here this evening. Thane police would soon take their custody, he added.
The police have so far arrested 21 people in connection with the leak of the Army recruitment exam paper which came to light on February 26.
Santosh Shinde, owner of Raje Chhatrapati Academy at Phaltan in Satara district of western Maharashtra who has been arrested, was believed to be the kingpin of the racket, Singh said.
To a question whether any senior Army official was involved, the Commissioner said, "Prima facie we do not not see the involvement of Army officials. The crime is confined to the lower level staff from the Army."
