New Delhi, Aug 5 The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) which conducted search operations in more than 31 locations including Jammu, Srinagar and Bengaluru in connection with the irregularities in exams for Sub Inspectors in Jammu and Kashmir Police, have recovered a few incriminating documents, officials said on Friday.

Besides, devices, answer-sheets, application forms and OMR files considered to be crucial for further probe into the case have also been seized.

The Jammu and Kashmir Lt. Governor's administration had cancelled the Sub Inspectors' recruitment examination that was to be conducted for 1,200 posts of Jammu and Kashmir Police.

After this, the investigation was handed over to the CBI. Now, fresh recruitment exams for 1,200 posts of SI will be held.
