Lucknow, May 25 (PTI) An FIR has been lodged on the complaint of the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) against those spreading rumours regarding the Lekhpal Main Examination.
Acting on the complaint filed by the Commission, a case was registered at the Vibhutikhand police station in Lucknow on Sunday, and an investigation has been initiated, the UP government said in a statement on Monday.
The investigation will be monitored by the deputy commissioner of police (east), additional deputy commissioner of police (east) and assistant commissioner of police, Vibhutikhand.
In its complaint, the Commission said that the examination for recruitment to the lekhpal post was conducted across 861 examination centres in 44 districts with complete fairness, transparency and integrity on May 21.
However, certain anti-social elements shared false and misleading posts on social media to mislead candidates appearing in the main examination.
Through these posts, attempts were made to tarnish the image of the government and obstruct official work.
Earlier, the Commission had appealed to candidates not to pay attention to any rumours or unverified information and to rely only on official information issued by the Commission.
The Commission has assured that there will be no compromise on transparency and fairness in the recruitment process, the statement said. PTI NAV KSS KSS
