However, aspirants and some student organisations alleged that the question paper had been leaked before the exam started. As per the news agency IANS report, UPPSC secretary Ashok Kumar said on Tuesday that while the commission had constituted an internal committee to look into the issue, following the reports and claims of the paper leak, it had also sent a formal recommendation to the state government requesting for an STF probe into the issue.
