The UPPRPB was quick to address these claims, issuing a categorical denial. The board’s firm response aimed at quelling the rumors and reassuring stakeholders about the integrity of the examination process. Despite the board’s denial, the situation reached a fever pitch as aspirants and the general public demanded transparency and fairness.
The Arrests: A Crackdown on Cheating
