The exam was cancelled after the police conferred with the Army

On Sunday, aspirants across the country were supposed to write the army recruitment exams. They had, after all, been preparing for it round the clock. Instead, they were in for a rude shock when news filtered in that the Thane crime branch sleuths had conducted raids across Pune, Nagpur and Goa, arresting 18 people and detaining 350 others for their role in leaking the papers. Even more disheartening, despite writing the paper, the exam has been deemed inadmissible.
