The Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) arrested a Delhi Police constable on Tuesday for arranging a resort in Haryana's Gurugram for aspirants to read and solve question papers of the Uttar Pradesh Police Constable Examination, said senior police officials.
The accused was arrested near the Peripheral Expressway flyover in Baghpat.
The STF officials said the accused was identified as Vikram Pahal, a resident of Jind, Haryana.
They said he was recruited as a constable in Delhi Police in 2010 and served there at different units for around 14 years.
The officials said the accused met Ravi Attri, one of the two alleged masterminds of the question paper leak case, through his childhood friend Nitin of Sonipat, Haryana, and got into the nexus involved in the leaking of question paper of different recruitment examinations.
