The UPPSC has also formed an internal committee tasked with scrutinizing the examination and addressing the candidates' complaints of paper leaks. This committee is set to investigate the alleged irregularities and will subsequently submit a detailed report to the Commission.
In addition to the internal committee, the UPPSC has officially reached out to the government, requesting further investigation by the Special Task Force (STF).
Former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav expressed his concerns regarding the incident, suggesting a conspiracy by the BJP government. In a tweet on Sunday, Yadav wrote, "Review officer's paper was also leaked in Uttar Pradesh. This seems to be a conspiracy of the BJP government with the future of the candidates because this government does not want to provide jobs to the unemployed."
