Thousands of Staff Selection Commission (SSC) candidates on Saturday held a demonstration here in protest against the "SSC paper leak scam" and demanded resignation of Minister of Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) Jitendra Singh for not ordering a CBI probe into all SSC examinations.

The SCC candidates gathered at Parliament Street at 11 a.m seeking a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the alleged paper leak in the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Examination held in February.

There have been two paper leaks in a span of 2 months – SSC paper in February and the CBSE’s Economics and Maths papers. Coincidentally though, the officials in key positions at both SSC and CBSE are Gujarat-cadre IAS officers. #PaperLeak
