The incident originated from the afternoon of May 27, the 2017 Civil Service Examination Council in Ca Mau province decided to temporarily suspend the civil service examination for the inspection professional group. The reason was that before the exam, an outsider was discovered selling documents and questions related to the inspection professional question bank. Specifically, the Investigation Police Agency discovered that Mr. Tieu Truong Son was selling the inspection professional exam questions to a number of candidates taking the 2017 civil service exam in Ca Mau province, so they invited him to the agency to work.

In addition, Mr. Le Tan Thuan also went to the Investigation Police Department of Ca Mau Province to denounce Mr. Tieu Truong Son's act of "extorting" money. Through working with the authorities, Mr. Son confessed that the documents for sale were provided by Mr. Le Tan Thuan.
