Post paper leak, Army recruitment exam off

New Delhi, February 28

The Army has cancelled an examination for pan-India recruitment of general duty personnel after the paper reportedly got leaked, officials said on Sunday.

Three persons have been arrested from Baramati, Pune, in connection with the case.

“The Army has zero tolerance towards corrupt practices in the recruitment process for selection of suitable candidates,” an official said.
