Chhattisgarh High Court Denies Bail in 2021 State Exam Paper Leak Case
The Chhattisgarh High Court denied bail to Jeevan Kishore Dhruv, former secretary of the Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission, in a case involving alleged question paper leaks during the 2021 and 2022 state civil services examinations. The court described the leak as a crime more heinous than murder, citing its impact on thousands of aspirants.
