During the online CGL 2017 Tier-II exam in February 2018, a screenshot of the live paper circulated, sparking weeks of street protests by aspirants. The CBI registered an FIR against 17 people, including ten employees of the exam-technology vendor — among them the custodian of the question bank — and seven candidates. The Supreme Court stayed the results in August 2018, observing that the entire system seemed compromised, and allowed the re-examination's results in April 2019. Three accused were arrested in June 2019.
