The Haridwar Police have launched a major crackdown on Khalid, the main accused in the UKSSSC (Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission) exam scam, conducting coordinated raids across various locations on Tuesday. The operation was supported by the Revenue Department, electricity authorities, and the Nagar Panchayat.
During the raids, authorities found an illegal electricity connection at Khalid’s residence. A case has been registered against his father under Section 135 of the Electricity Act.
Haridwar SSP Pramendra Singh Dobal said teams were actively searching multiple locations to nab Khalid. During the investigation, Khalid’s sister was detained and later handed over to the Dehradun Police.
The SSP added that substantial evidence is being collected against Khalid and his associates. He said the police were confident of arresting him soon.
Earlier, Uttarakhand Home Secretary Shailesh Bagoli assured that strictest possible action would be taken against those involved in the alleged irregularities in the UKSSSC examination. He said, “This is the first case after a law on cheating was introduced. The action taken by the government will set an example.”
UKSSSC Chairman Ganesh Singh Martolia called the scam “an attempt to help a particular person” and said strict action will be taken against anyone involved.
He added, “This is an attempt to help a particular person. The question is, how did the person (who took the photos of the questions) reach there (at the centre) when there was a jammer? This is an important aspect that we are working on. We are trying to catch the main accused. After that, everything will become clear. Strict action will be taken against anyone involved in this.”
