Fresh controversy has erupted over the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) Drug Inspector Recruitment Examination 2026, with allegations of a paper leak and irregularities casting a shadow over the recruitment process. 

The examination was conducted by the MPSC on March 22, 2026, but claims made by NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) leader Rohit Pawar have raised serious questions about the integrity of the test. 

According to Pawar, the question paper was allegedly leaked ahead of the examination and sold to candidates for a substantial amount, prompting concerns over the fairness of the recruitment process.

Rohit Pawar claimed that the MPSC Drug Inspector examination paper was allegedly sold for ₹12 lakh.  

According to his allegations, ₹5 lakh was taken as an advance payment, while the remaining ₹7 lakh was collected after the examination. 

He further alleged that the paper was distributed to candidates before the test, raising concerns about possible malpractice in the recruitment examination. 

Around 90 Questions Allegedly Shared on WhatsApp Before Exam 

The NCP leader also claimed that the alleged leak took place two days before the examination. 

According to his allegations, around 90 out of the 100 questions, along with their answers, were circulated on WhatsApp on March 20, ahead of the March 22 examination. 

The claims have intensified scrutiny over the conduct of the recruitment test and triggered demands for a thorough investigation into the alleged leak.
