Rajasthan Patwari Exam 2025: In the Rajasthan Patwari Exam 2025, conducted in the state on Sunday, two dummy candidates were caught trying to impersonate actual candidates. The incidents were reported in Dholpur and Udaipur during the first shift of the test, according to the media reports.
The impersonators had been caught out by the biometric matching process when their fingerprints and personal information did not match in official records, Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSMSSB) Chairman Major Alok Raj said. Both had been detained on the spot, and the case has been referred to the investigation agencies for further inquiry.
According to media reports, preliminary investigations indicate that the two suspects have a history of impersonation and had earlier come up as dummy candidates in competitive examinations. The authorities are now questioning them, with the officials hinting at potential connections to a large-scale examination racket.
