Berhampur: The written examination for constable recruitment in the Berhampur Police district was conducted smoothly on Sunday.
As many as 4420 candidates appeared the exam for a vacancy of 187 constable posts in the police district, informed Berhampur SP Dr. Saravana Vivek M.
The exam was held in five examination centres – Parala Maharaja Engineering College, Saraswati Shishu Mandir, Khalikote College, Sashi Bhushan Rath College and Govt ITI College in the Berhampur police district .
The entire exam process is recorded in CCTV footage. All candidates were frisked and checked with metal detectors to prevent malpractice. Every centre had a police mobile squad for surprise checking.
Students clearing the written exam will be selected for physical qualification test later, the SP informed.
Earlier today, Dr. Saravana Vivek dismissed the reports that the question papers of the exam were leaked.
Reacting on the issue, the SP said based on some news reports, immediately investigation was initiated.
It was reported in the news that a question paper was leaked and it was getting viral. Upon enquiry, it was found that some photos were getting viral in social media claiming that they were images of question paper of constable recruitment. Investigation found that the viral images were not that of question paper of today’s constable recruitment. It is clear that some mischievous person has circulated some fake questions to create an atmosphere of suspicion among the candidates.
The Berhampur SP said that a criminal case is being registered against the person who has mischievously made fake questions viral.
Police will find all the persons and criminal action would be taken against all of them, he added.
