The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is ruling Gujarat and the Centre, suspended Mukesh Chaudhary and Manhar Patel.

The exam was cancelled hours before it was scheduled to be held on Sunday after the question paper was leaked on social media.

As many as 8.75 lakh candidates were scheduled to appear for the exam which was to start at 3 pm at 2,440 centres across Gujarat.

Chief minister Vijay Rupani had directed the home department to take immediate action. However, opposition Congress has demanded setting up of an SIT under a sitting high court judge, alleging that “people of the ruling party” are behind the incident.
