Additional Director General of Police and the head of Special Investigation Team V K Singh said Jagdish Siyag, a sub-inspector of 2014 batch, had fixed Varsha as a dummy candidate for his sister Indubala and cousin Bhagwati for the recruitment exam.
Siyag, who was posted at Bharatpur SP office, was arrested on Tuesday. His sister Indubala was arrested the same day, the ADG said, adding that Bhagwati was arrested on March 5. The officer said that Varsha took the exam for herself and also appeared as a dummy candidate for Bhagwati and Indubala.
