He further said that strict action would be taken against those who would be found guilty in the alleged paper leak.

"There can be no compromise with the sanctity of examinations. Those who play with the hard work of the youth will not be spared under any circumstances. Strictest action is certain to be taken against such unruly elements," the UP CM added.

The UP government has additionally directed an investigation into reported irregularities and manipulation in the Review Officer/Assistant Review Officer (RO/ARO) examination, focusing not on the examination paper itself, but on potential administrative misconduct at the government level.

"Candidates can lodge complaint at @[email protected] till 27th February. Before this, the Police Recruitment Board is also investigating the alleged rigging in the constable recruitment examination," the order said.

On the other hand, SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav has the BJP government for not being able to prevent paper leaks.

"Amidst the news of UP Police exam being leaked, the government is claiming that everything has been done properly. If this is so, then the government should promise that all the people who get 100% marks will be considered eligible for the job, whether it is 1 lakh or 10 lakh. Because about 5 people of one family are associated with one candidate. That is why this examination is a blatant fraud on 2.5 crore people from families belonging to 50 lakh candidates. These 2.5 crore people of Uttar Pradesh will defeat BJP" Akhilesh Yadav said.
