“I have already submitted the proof to police and state government regarding discrepancies in these government exams. We have found out that at least 10 candidates in AAE Mechanical exam, nine candidates for Sub Auditor/Sub Treasury officer exam, 15 candidates in ATDO exam, 11 candidates in MPHW exam and 20 candidates in sub-auditor exam may have been involved in irregularities,” said Jadeja.
