The Rajasthan government’s decision to cancel REET 2021 comes days after the REET paper leak case of 2021 was raise in the Lok Sabha by RLP convenor and Nagaur MP Hanuman Beniwal, who demanded a CBI probe into the matter along with the cancellation of the exams.

Speaking at the Lower House, Beniwal said, “There should be a CBI inquiry into the REET cheating case. The youth of Rajasthan are agitating. Huge anomalies are being reported in the REET exams. We want REET 2021 to be canceled and there should be a CBI inquiry into the rigging.”

After raising the session, Beniwal told the media that when the Special Operation Group (SOG) of the police has agreed that exam paper was stolen from the education complex, it is clear that the strings of the case were connected to many IAS officers, the government and even the CMO. Hence, a CBI investigation is necessary, he had stated.

Rajasthan Unemployment Unified Federation president Upen Yadav, too had demanded a CBI inquiry into the case, besides pressing for an increase in the number of vacancies.

He had said the state government should introduce an amendment bill in the next Rajasthan Assembly session to make cases of paper leak a non-bailable offence. Rajasthan BJP president Satish Poonia had previously slammed former school education minister Govind Singh Dotasra saying he had converted Rajasthan Public Service Commission into Rishtedaar (relative) Public Service Commission.

The government had suspended one RAS and two RPS officers, 13 personnel of the education department and three other policemen for allegedly being involved in suspicious activities and irregularities during the exam held on September 26 last year.
