**Headline: Key Suspect Arrested in Uttarakhand Exam Leak Scandal**

**Dehradun/Haridwar, September 24, 2025:** Police have arrested Khalid Malik, the primary suspect in the alleged leak of Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UKSSSC) exam papers. The arrest occurred in the Laksar area of Haridwar on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, after Malik had been evading authorities for three days.

The case involves the leakage of three pages of the question paper from an undergraduate examination held on Sunday, September 21, 2025. These pages surfaced on social media shortly after the exam began, causing widespread concern and prompting a thorough investigation.

According to police, Malik, who was a candidate in the exam, allegedly used a device to photograph three pages of the question paper at the Adarsh Bal Sadan Inter College examination center and transmitted them to his sister, Sabia, who has already been arrested. Sabia is accused of then sending the images to Suman, an assistant professor in Tehri, to obtain answers for Malik.

Haridwar SSP Pramod Singh Dobal confirmed that Dehradun police have taken Khalid into custody. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed by Dehradun SSP Ajay Singh to further investigate the matter. A case has been registered under the Uttarakhand Competitive Examination (Prevention and Control of Unfair Means in Recruitment) Ordinance, 2023.

Authorities are also investigating the roles of other individuals, including Malik’s other sister, Hina. Examination center staff, including the principal and room inspector, have been questioned. The commission chairman, Ganesh Singh Martolia, has expressed shock at the breach despite the presence of jammers at the exam centers.

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has vowed that those involved in the exam malpractice will face consequences. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge as the SIT continues its work.
