Earlier last month, Sinha had also ordered a CBI probe into the matter and promised action against the culprits days after a probe panel headed by RK Goyal, Additional Chief Secretary Home J&K, submitted its report.

The recruitment drive assumed significance as it was the first of its kind after the revocation of article 370, which granted special status to the erstwhile state.

Nearly 97,000 candidates had appeared in the exam conducted by the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board. On June 4, JKSSB declared the list of successful 1,200 successful candidates.  However, soon after the declaration of the result online, unsuccessful candidates took to the street alleging fraud in the recruitment process.
