On June 24, the ED arrested 43-year-old Haryana native Yatin Yadav, the alleged kingpin of the leak.

The Jammu and Kashmir Service Selection Board (JKSSB) sub-inspector recruitment exam was held on March 27, 2022 but the selected list of 1,200 candidates, along with 1,300 junior engineers and 1,000 finance account assistants. was cancelled by the administration in July following allegations of paper leak and malpractice.
