Three Wanted Criminals Arrested During Rajasthan SI 2021 Re-examination by SOG
The Rajasthan Sub-Inspector 2021 re-examination was held across 666 centres with about 69% attendance in both shifts, highest in Tonk district. The Special Operations Group (SOG) arrested three wanted criminals who appeared for the exam and identified 50 candidates with discrepancies.
