A Delhi police sub-inspector has been arrested along with four others in connection with an alleged cheating racket for the staff selection commission (SSC) examination, which saw the accused providing answers to candidates over mobile phones.
Following a tip-off, Ajay Kumar (26), a police sub-inspector posted at outer district, Amit alias Hoti (24), Rahul Dabas (23), Manoj Verma (32) and Kuldeep (20) were arrested by the crime branch on Sunday from a farmhouse at Ladpur village.
Mobile phones containing answer keys to all four sets of question papers were seized from the accused, the police said. ‘We got a tip-off that a gang will leak the question paper for the combined higher secondary level (10+2) examination- 2013 conducted by SSC at the all-India level, solve it and send the answers through mobile phones to those appearing in the exam,’ said ACP (crime branch), Ravindra Yadav. A raid was conducted at the farmhouse where seven persons were found of whom two managed to escape while five were held. One of the absconding duo is reportedly a railway protection force sub-inspector, said Yadav.
‘The gang assured candidates that answers would be provided through SMSes just before commencement of the exam. They would charge lakhs of rupees,’ Yadav added. Manoj Verma, who qualified in the SSC assistant grade examination, was in a similar racket for which he was arrested by Shahbad Dairy police station. He got out on bail. Amit alias Hoti qualified in the SSC LDC/Data entry operators’ exam and was given posting as an LDC at the government press.
