While Kumar was sent to the Phulwari jail, his relatives were sent to Beur jail in Patna, as per police reports. 

Police claim to have procured sufficient evidence against all the accused persons.

Earlier on Friday, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the question paper leak regarding a clerical exam arrested BSSC chairman Sudhir Kumar from Hazaribag town in Jharkhand along with four other relatives.

As per reports, Kumar had been missing since the scam surfaced earlier this month. His family however claimed Kumar is innocent and is being made a “scapegoat”.

This is the second big arrest in the case. Earlier, SIT had arrested BSSC secretary Parmeshwar Ram in connection with the scam. 

So far more than 20 people have been arrested in connection with the case.

Earlier, the state government cancelled the clerical examination conducted by the Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC) after reports of question paper leak.
