JAIPUR: The two-day shutdown of mobile services in some major cities of
Rajasthan ended as the Rajasthan police constable examination came to a close on Sunday evening. Additional DGP (headquarters) Rajeev Sharma said over 7 lakh candidates appeared for the exam on the last day, adding that some people tried to write the papers on behalf of others but were nabbed.
“The written examination was conducted without any major problems.
Some impersonators and cheaters were arrested,” Sharma told TOI.
Mobile internet services remained blocked till 5 pm on Sunday across Jodhpur, Jaipur and Udaipur. The examination, held in two shifts at 664 centres across 78 cities, was the biggest ever police recruitment in recent times.
The examination disrupted normal life as several online cabs remained grounded. Students from nearby cities like Alwar,
Sikar and Dausa travelled to Jaipur in jam-packed buses and trains. Many candidates were asked to remove their shirts. Women candidates were directed to remove their shoes.
