An examination held by the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan on Sunday for recruitment of teachers was cancelled after reports that the question paper had leaked.
An official statement here said the KVS had received information from the Rewari police in Haryana that they had busted a gang allegedly involved in the paper leak and recovered incriminating material from them.
“Yesterday evening, it was brought to the notice of the KVS that the question paper of the PRT exam has been leaked and its soft version is circulating on the Internet messaging application WhatsApp,” the statement said.
