"There were multiple irregularities in the exam as the questions stood already leaked. 24 of the 100 questions were taken from the exam conducted by the Maharashtra government in 2017. We demand the government conduct an impartial probe into the matter. The exam should be held again for the future of the aspiring candidates," he said.

It is pertinent to mention that a petition was filed in the High Court on behalf of one Rohtak-based Shubham Vats and ten other candidates alleging irregularities in the January 15 examination of HPSC, whose application forms were submitted on December 11, 2022. The petitioner has alleged that 24 out of 100 questions were lifted from a 2017 question paper and in the answer sheet released on January 23, 26 questions were wrong and they are releasing the result without probing the matter.
