Three accused in the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) exam paper leak case were granted conditional bail by a city court on Thursday.
Renuka, Ramesh, and Prashanth Reddy were granted bail in Nampally on a personal bond of Rs 50,000 each.
The court ordered them to appear in front of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) three days a week. The court also ordered that their passports be seized.
They have been summoned to appear before SIT on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for a period of three months.
Renuka’s bail petition had previously been denied by the court. She had requested bail on the grounds that she needed to care for a child and that she was ill.
Renuka is the third accused in the case. She knew P. Praveen Kumar, the main accused in the case, who worked as an Assistant Section Officer at TSPSC.
Renuka, a former teacher, had bought the question paper from Praveen for her brother Rajeshwar Nayak, who had taken the Assistant Engineer exam. She and her husband, Lavdyavath Dhakya, were also accused of selling the question papers to other candidates via Ketavath Srinivas, a police constable.
The SIT arrested six more people in the case on Tuesday, bringing the total number of arrests in the case to 27.
The TSPSC scam was discovered on March 13 after a youth filed a complaint. Police initially detained nine suspects, including Praveen Kumar and Rajashekar Reddy, a network admin at TSPSC.
They allegedly stole exam question papers from a computer in a confidential section of the Commission and sold it to other accused.
