Now action is being prepared against the then Controller of Examinations in the case of changing the copy in the PCS-J-2022 main examination of the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC). In this entire matter, the Commission believes that this has happened due to human error, due to which neither any confidentiality has been breached nor any criminal misconduct has been committed. This work was the responsibility of three such experienced women, who have been doing this work for a long time. Let us tell you that the Commission has suspended three responsible people in this matter and initiated disciplinary action against a Deputy Secretary, while a letter has been written to the government for action against a retired Assistant Review Officer.
