The recruitment examination for the post of Drug Inspector (Group-B) in the Food and Drug Administration Department, conducted by the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC), has been cancelled. The exam was held on March 22, 2026. Candidates lodged complaints with the Commission via email, alleging that the question paper and specific questions had reached some students as early as March 20—just two days before the exam. It was further alleged that the question paper was being circulated to certain candidates via social media.

**Details of the Incident**
The MPSC conducted the Drug Inspector (Group-B) recruitment exam on March 22, 2026. However, between July 22 and July 26, the Commission received complaints via email from candidates and public representatives. These complaints claimed that the question paper and questions had been sent to students on March 20, two days prior to the examination.

**Revelations in the Crime Branch Report**
In light of these complaints, the Commission filed a formal complaint with the Mumbai Police on July 27. Subsequently, the Crime Branch initiated an investigation and submitted its report. The report revealed that a specific candidate had obtained the question paper set and benefited from it. Following the submission of the Crime Branch report, the Commission decided to cancel the examination.

**Re-examination to be Conducted**
Following the cancellation of the Drug Inspector (Group-B) recruitment exam, the MPSC will soon issue an official notification for the written examination. Candidates will not be required to register again to appear for the written exam, nor will they be charged a registration fee a second time.
