Confidence C — based on the press record (archived below). No primary documents on file yet; treat names of agencies, dates and figures as reported, not established.
About eight lakh candidates wrote the Gram Sachiv exam on 9–10 January 2021. A Hisar SIT busted a racket digitally distributing answer keys: an exam observer allegedly photographed the paper at a school centre, sent it out for solving, and the key was relayed onward for money. Eighteen people had been arrested by 17 January, when HSSC nullified the examination.
