ITANAGAR: The Arunachal Pradesh cabinet has decided to initiate a departmental probe into the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APSSC) paper leak issue, said officials.

The departmental probe into the APPSC paper leak case would be independent of the ongoing investigations by the Arunachal Pradesh police and the CBI, said an official.

The departmental inquiry into the APPSC paper leak case would be fast-tracked by urging the high court to designate a court for the case, he added.

Arunachal Pradesh was recently rocked by a paper leak row during exams to recruit assistant engineers (civil).
