Earlier, BJP held massive protests across the state regarding the paper leak issue and alleged that it is playing with the future of candidates. The BJP also demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the paper leak case.
Police arrested as many as 55 people in connection with the case. The arrested individuals included the alleged ‘mastermind’ of the paper leak.
The ‘mastermind’ identified as Suresh Vishnoi, who works as a headmaster at a government school in the Jalore district. The accused were produced before the court and were sent to police remand.
Police investigation into the case is underway.
