Ajmer, Aug 30: Competitive examination for probationer assistant station masters, jointly conducted by the railway recruitment boards of Ajmer and Ahmedabad, has been cancelled due to leakage of the question paper, a railway spokesman said here today. The CBI had taken about half a dozen persons into custody in this regard, he said.
About 65,000 candidates had appeared in the examinations, held on August 18 at various centres.

A copy of the examination paper was allegedly stolen from a sealed envelop and was replaced by an old exam paper to keep the count of papers correct at a Centre in Gujarat, he said, adding the envelop was neatly sealed again after the theft.
The paper was allegedly sold to candidates before the examination, he said. Bureau Report
