 "SSC paper leak, SSC scam, SSC leak case")
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday registered a preliminary enquiry into the alleged irregularities in the recent Staff Selection Commission (SSC) examination.
This came after the central government accepted the demand of protesting candidates seeking a CBI probe into the matter.
Responding to the demands, the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had said, "We have accepted demands of protesting candidates and have given orders for a CBI inquiry."
Rajnath also appealed to the students to call off their protest.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had decided to hear on March 12 a plea seeking an investigation into the alleged Staff Selection Commission (SSC) exam paper leak.
