Hired ‘solvers’, screen sharing software – how Rajasthan gang helped candidates ‘cheat’ during national recruitment test

According to Joseph, the Jaipur police conducted raids at Vedic College Mansarovar, IT Infra Kukas, Heritage Vayuna School Khatipura, JNM Nursing College Kalwad Road, Lawrence School Mansarovar, and Tagore Bharti School Mansarovar.

The gang allegedly took an advance payment of Rs 50,000.

“Two youths — Nitesh Kumar, 27, and Sumit Singh, 25 — were arrested during the raids,” he said. “During interrogation, the youths explained their modus operandi: that the cheating was done by remotely sharing screens and through a computer lab in SJM College, Shastri Nagar,” he said.

Eventually, police arrested several others, including Sandeep Kumar, 35, the one who runs the SJM College lab and the alleged kingpin in the case.

At the lab, investigators found Rs 1,68,500 in cash.

“Police are investigating if more people are involved in the case,” Deputy Commissioner of Police West Amit Kumar Budaniya said. No decision has been taken yet on whether the exam will be cancelled.

Meanwhile, police are also investigating allegations of irregularities in two other tests – including the railway technician recruitment exam – in December.
