Why candidates knew about the paper leak

The Superintendent of Police (SP) of Patna, Manavjit Singh Dhillon, has said that the police are investigating the paper leak and that they will take strict action against the people involved. He has also appealed to the candidates not to panic and that the CSBC will take a decision on the matter soon.
Impact on the candidates
The paper leak has had a devastating impact on the candidates who appeared for the exam. Many candidates had prepared hard for the exam and were hoping to get a job in the Bihar Police. However, the paper leak has now jeopardized their chances of getting a job.
Conclusion
The Bihar Police Constable paper leak is a serious matter and it raises questions about the integrity of the recruitment process. The CSBC should thoroughly investigate the matter and take steps to ensure that such incidents do not happen in the future.
