The investigation gained momentum following an investigative report aired by a private television channel on Sunday evening, which uncovered the scandal involving leaked question papers for 30 recruitment exams, including the Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) exams.
The PSC has expressed a strong commitment to addressing the issue and ensuring the integrity of the examination process.
