It is reportedly said that the aspirants were given the test papers beforehand in Jammu, Gangyal, and Karnal (Haryana). Candidates were lured using the dubious services of touts stationed in Jammu, including constables of the Jammu and Kashmir Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
The candidates said that a question paper was given to them at a hotel in Karnal, Haryana, after being driven there in vehicles provided by one CRPF policeman Surender Singh.
