Maharashtra minister Rajesh Tope on Tuesday said the results of exams held for the posts of health assistants and drivers will be kept on hold till the ongoing probe into malpractices is not over. The state health minister made the announcement in the legislative council in response to a question posed by BJP MLC Vinayak Mete.

Mete had alleged that malpractices and misconducts had taken place during the examinations held for recruitments to various posts of the state health department. The examinations were held for more than 50 different cadres across the state, Tope said.
