Patna, Feb 14 (NationPress) Faisal Khan, widely known as Khan Sir, has raised serious concerns regarding corruption and irregularities in the 70th Preliminary Test (PT) conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) on Thursday.
Khan Sir asserts that he has collected substantial evidence indicating rigging in the exam, and he is confident that the High Court will annul it.
In a press conference, Khan Sir disclosed that his team has been probing potential misconduct in the BPSC examination since its inception.
"We had long harbored suspicions of fraud in the BPSC exam, but without any proof, we were powerless. After a month of diligent efforts, we have uncovered irrefutable evidence that lays bare the deceit of the Bihar Public Service Commission. This exam will undoubtedly be scrapped, with a re-examination to follow," he stated.
He mentioned that the BPSC held the preliminary exam on December 13, 2024, preparing three sets of question papers for contingency measures.
“If any set was compromised, the commission could substitute it with another. Following the exam, the two unused sets were to be stored in district treasuries as per established protocol. However, our investigation unveiled that the question papers were unaccounted for in the treasuries of Nawada and Gaya districts,” he alleged.
He also detailed the method of the purported rigging. The BPSC cancelled the exam at the Bapu Examination Centre on December 13 due to irregularities, leading to a re-exam on January 4, 2024 for those affected.
“According to protocol, instead of disposing of or properly securing the two unused sets of papers, the BPSC utilized them for the re-exam on January 4 at the Bapu exam centre,” he claimed.
Consequently, the pass rate in the initial exam (December 13) was a mere 6 percent, while the re-exam (January 4) saw a dramatic increase in pass rate to 19 percent—over three times greater. This statistical discrepancy, Khan Sir argues, serves as clear proof of malpractice.
"This indicates that BPSC conducted the re-exam without adhering to security measures. The question paper was likely leaked, which accounts for the inflated success rate. This has jeopardized the future of countless deserving candidates," he contended.
He reiterated that he has consulted with legal professionals and is in the process of preparing to present the evidence to the High Court.
"Previously, it was said that without evidence, the exam could not be annulled. But now we possess undeniable proof. Legal authorities believe that the High Court will have no choice but to invalidate the exam," he added.
In addition to revealing the alleged fraud, he implicated a senior BPSC official as the mastermind behind the scheme.
Khan Sir alleged that a Joint Secretary-level officer has been stationed at the BPSC for ten years, despite government regulations requiring officer rotations every three years.
He also pointed to potential corruption within the commission, questioning the lack of transfer for that officer, and criticized the BPSC for technical failures during the application process.
He stated that approximately 80,000 candidates were unable to finalize their applications due to a server crash during payment processing.
Despite numerous requests, BPSC declined to extend the deadline or provide any solutions.
"The server crash was the fault of the BPSC, but innocent students bore the consequences. This is further evidence of the inefficiency and corruption within the commission," Khan Sir concluded.
