New Delhi, Mar 21 : A government servant along with her three associates were arrested for allegedly running an inter-state gang that leaked entrance exam papers for government job aspirants, the Delhi Police said on Sunday.

According to the police, the main accused, Vaishali (26), works as an account assistant at National Fertilisers, Noida. She and her associates allegedly planted candidates at private exam centres across Delhi and leaked papers and answer keys to clients.

The accused were arrested after police found a man cheating at a centre in Naraina. “On March 4, a team led by SHO (Naraina) Sameer Srivastava got information about illegal practices at the exam centre. A raid was conducted and we arrested a man, Rohit. He was using a phone to solve his online paper for Forest Guard,” said a senior officer.

Rohit’s phone was seized. Police found the involvement of several persons in the scam and arrested Vaishali, her brother Love Kumar, and their aide Himanshu from Sonepat and Delhi.

“They asked for Rs 10 lakh from each candidate. A dummy candidate was planted to take pictures or videos of the online paper. He would then go to the washroom and send photos to Vaishali. The woman also hired a person to solve the paper and give the answer keys, which were then shared with their clients on their phones,” police added.(UNI)
