He said that four, including former chairperson of the Rajasthan Denotified Nomadic and Semi Nomadic Tribe Welfare Board member Gopal Kesawat, were arrested for allegedly accepting bribes of Rs 18.50 lakh.
However, he mentioned that action will be taken if any role of RPSC is found during the investigation after analyzing call detail records of the accused, their chats, messages and other available evidence.
