According to news agency PTI, in her resignation letter addressed to the Governor, Sharma emphasized her commitment to transparency and integrity, stating that she has upheld these values throughout her professional and personal life. She noted that no police inquiry or investigation was pending against her and that she was never named as an accused. However, she added that the controversy had tarnished her personal reputation and affected the dignity of the Commission.
After finding large-scale irregularities, including paper leak and involvement of members of the Commission in the scam, the high court had ordered to cancel the recruitment process of Sub Inspector recruitment exam 2021.
PTI reported, in a recent order, the Rajasthan HC criticised the conduct of the RPSC members in the 2021 recruitment process, stating, “Through their active participation in, or knowledge of, the leakage of papers and prejudicing of the interview process, RPSC Members Babu Lal Katara, Ramuram Raika, Manju Sharma, Sangeeta Arya, Jaswant Rathi and Chairman Sanjay Shrotiva enabled the systemic and large-scale compromise of the examination’s integrity.”
“The attack on the examination’s sanctity was not solely the handiwork of external anti-social elements but was significantly birthed and spread by these very members of the RPSC,” the court observed.
“This betrayal of public trust from within the RPSC has precipitated a crisis of confidence in the recruitment process and the institutions meant to uphold it, underscoring the idiom Ghar ka Bedi Lanka Dahay’s relevance in highlighting the devastating impact of internal complicity and corruption,” the court further noted.
