Chandigarh, Aug. 1 -- Punjab Police have busted an interstate cheating racket allegedly operating from Haryana's Bhiwani and arrested 38 people, including 13 handlers and 25 candidates, in connection with cheating during the Baba Farid University of Health Sciences pharmacy officers' recruitment examination on July 19. Addressing a press conference in Chandigarh on Friday, education minister Harjot Singh Bains alleged that the Haryana Police failed to act against the cheating syndicate, and it was Punjab Police that cracked the pharmacy examination cheating case. He said investigation had established that the case was not a paper leak but a highly organised, technology-driven cheating racket. The minister alleged that the syndicate was being operated by a mastermind based in Haryana's Bhiwani and criticised the Haryana government for "failing to curb organised examination fraud". The Bhagwant Mann government has faced sustained opposition attacks over alleged paper leaks in Punjab, with the BJP, Congress and SAD seeking the resignation of Bains and health minister Dr Balbir Singh. The opposition cited six paper leak incidents, including the pharmacy exam. However, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal, Mann and Bains have repeatedly denied the charges. Bains said the Punjab Police had exposed a network that allegedly used sophisticated technology to help candidates cheat."The accused used modified phones, hidden communication equipment and other gadgets to communicate answers to candidates during the exam," he said. IGP, Faridkot Range, Nilambri Jagdale, said a candidate from Bhiwani used a spy camera to capture images of the question paper after the examination began. The images were transmitted to a handler from Bhiwani, who solved the paper and the answers were then relayed to the control room from where the same were dictated to candidates through wireless devices....
