This came after a meeting chaired by CM Gehlot on Friday. Irregularities occurred in the conduct of REET 2021 in September leading to protests. BJP has been demanding a CBI inquiry in this matter.

Reportedly, Gehlot, in the meeting, decided to constitute a committee headed by a retired judge of the high court to give suggestions for ensuring that papers leak incidents do not take place and exams are conducted in a fair manner. 

The Special Operation Group (SOG) arrested many people in the case. It recently arrested Ramkripal Meena and Udaram Vishnoi. Meena was employed by district coordinator for the purpose of security of papers at Shiksha Sankul in Jaipur. Shiksha Sankul is a building where the offices of the education department are located.

Meena allegedly stole the paper from Shiksha Sankul and gave it to Udaram Vishnoi who is accused of circulating the paper. After it was confirmed that the paper was leaked from Shiksha Sankul, the role of the board chairman, secretary, and other officers came under the scanner.

When irregularities in the conduct of exams had emerged in September, the state govt suspended one RAS and two RPS officers, 13 personnel of the education department, and 3 other policemen.
