In a big win for the police, the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) arrested two men who were caught cheating on the Territorial Army General Duty Clerks and Tradesmen Recruitment exam on January 12, 2025. The arrests happened at the Dogra Regiment Center in Ayodhya with help from the Military Intelligence.
The two suspects are 19-year-old Vikas Rai from Varanasi and 30-year-old Sukhnandan Yadav from Betul, Madhya Pradesh. The police found two mobile phones, two exam papers, two admit cards, and two secret devices used for cheating.
Recently, there have been rumors about cheating gangs in Uttar Pradesh working to help people pass exams unfairly. The STF has been watching these gangs for a while. They set up a special team in Ayodhya to gather information and catch the cheaters.
When the STF learned that these men would try to cheat during the exam, they acted quickly. They were caught using electronic devices that helped them get answers during the test. During questioning, the men said they paid a solver gang ₹4 lakh each (about $4,800) to pass. They even made a down payment of ₹40,000 (around $480) before the exam.
The cheating devices were small and easy to hide in their ears. The men were in communication with the solver gang, who were giving them answers remotely. After their arrest, the Ayodhya police started legal actions against them. The police continue to look for other members of the cheating gang and learned about a leader named Satyam Madhesia.
In a similar situation, a man was arrested in Mumbai for cheating during a police recruitment exam by using a hidden electronic device. Authorities became suspicious because he was touching his ear often. When they checked, they found a tiny Bluetooth device inside his ear, which was allowing someone else to tell him the answers.
