Dehradun, August 1, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday said it has attached movable and immovable properties worth Rs 63.30 lakh in connection with the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) examination paper leak case.
The ED’s Dehradun Sub Zonal Office carried out the provisional attachment under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, in a case linked to alleged irregularities in the UKSSSC Graduate Level (VDO/VPDO) Examination, 2021.
The agency initiated its money laundering investigation based on an FIR registered at Raipur Police Station in Dehradun regarding the question paper leak. The probe also covers an FIR filed by the Vigilance Sector in Dehradun related to alleged irregularities in the Village Development Officer/Village Panchayat Development Officer Examination, 2016.
According to the ED, its investigation found that an alleged syndicate involving Hakam Singh Rawat, employees of RMS Techno Solutions Private Limited, which was associated with printing examination papers, public servants, middlemen and facilitators, leaked confidential question papers and collected money from candidates.
The agency alleged that leaked papers were circulated through intermediaries in exchange for large payments and that the proceeds were later used to acquire assets.
The ED said financial investigation revealed that Rawat received Rs 95 lakh from the money collected from candidates and allegedly attempted to show illegal earnings as legitimate income. The agency claimed that scrutiny of bank accounts and income tax records showed unexplained cash deposits and disproportionate agricultural income claims.
The probe agency said searches at 14 locations led to the recovery of documents, digital devices, property records and other material allegedly linked to the case.
The ED has already filed a chargesheet before the PMLA Special Court in Dehradun against several accused persons, including alleged employees of RMS Techno Solutions, public servants, middlemen and facilitators.
The UKSSSC examination scam involves alleged malpractice in recruitment examinations conducted in 2016 and 2021, including allegations of paper leaks, manipulation of examination processes and fraudulent facilitation of candidates.
