The police have arrested Maharashtra State Council of Examinations (MSCE) commissioner Tukaram Supe in connection with the alleged malpractice last week. The alleged irregularities came to light during a probe into the bid to leak a paper of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development examination, in which six persons have already been arrested.
