MPSC Chairman and MLA Dispute Timeline of Drug Inspector Exam Paper Leak
Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) Chairman Vivek Bhimanwar stated the Drug Inspector exam paper leak occurred in January 2026, before he assumed office in February and March. He emphasized the Commission's actions, including filing a police complaint and forming an internal committee. NCP MLA Rohit Pawar challenged this timeline, noting the paper reached students in March, two days before the exam, and questioned why the exam proceeded despite the alleged early leak. Bhimanwar urged that allegations be based on facts rather than political controversy.
