Houses of those who tampered with recruitment exams raided, properties seized: UP CM

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said those involved in recruitment exams leaks have been given a “fitting lesson” and their “houses were raided and properties confiscated”.

Distributing appointment letters to 39 sub-divisional magistrates (SDMs), 41 deputy superintendents of police (DSPs) and 16 treasurer/account officers selected by the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission at his official residence, Adityanath said that the selection was completed in record time.

"For the first time, any commission and board has completed the selection process in just nine months. The selection process was completely fair and transparent without any recommendation or interference.

“Those who tried to tamper with the integrity of the examination suffered the consequences. Their houses were raided and properties confiscated. The government has decided to teach all those who play with the future of the youth a fitting lesson,” the chief minister was quoted as saying in an official statement.

Adityanath said the overall perception of the state changes when the government works with honesty.

"You must have seen that those who faced an identity crisis in the state earlier, proudly say today that they belong to Uttar Pradesh. The transformation has been facilitated by the government's decision-making process," he said.
