The matter related to the leak of the Haryana male constable exam advertised by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) in December last year and the written exams scheduled in two shifts on August 7 and 8 were cancelled as it was found that the answer key was leaked on social media a few hours before the exam.

Earlier, police had also arrested two accused identified as Manohar and Naveen, carrying a reward of Rs 50,000 each.
During the arrest, the police recovered and seized the mobile phone, printer and admit cards of some candidates from their possessions.
During the course of the investigation, it was found that the hard copy of the paper and answer key was given to Muzaffar Ahmed Khan by the earlier arrested accused Jitendra, a resident of Jammu, which was further given to Afzal by Aijaz Amin at Jammu airport and the deal was settled for 60 lakhs, said police.
The accused Aijaz has also been arrested by the police. Earlier, the police arrested Naveen, who is on police remand for 5 days.
