PATNA, June 30 -- Bihar police arrested 32 persons for "cheating" in the Bihar Police Radio Operator Examination. According to police, the cheaters adopted the same modus operandi as they did during the NEET re-test: they manipulated biometrics and deployed 'solvers' instead of leaking the test paper. Of those arrested, 15 are from Khagaria, seven from Darbhanga, three from Saharsa and one each from Kishanganj, Jamui, Munger, Muzaffarpur, Bettiah, Vaishali, Nawada and other districts. In Khagaria, police busted an organised gang that included seven impersonators, two biometric employees, a high school teacher and a centre superintendent of St Xavier's School identified as Brajesh Kumar. Police recovered nine cell phones, seven cheque books, an ATM card, eight admit cards, an Aadhaar card, two luxury vehicles, a motorcycle, and several educational certificate documents. Khagaria SP Bhanu Pratap Singh told HT that preliminary investigation revealed the gang was trying to extort huge sums of money from candidates by luring them to clear the examination. Some gang members were also active in trying to "tamper with the question paper". "After verifying this information, a special team was formed under the supervision of Sub-Divisional Police Officer Mukul Ranjan and Cyber DSP Nishant Gaurav who arrested the gang members from different locations. Six of the accused belong to Khagaria, four to Bhojpur, and two to Arwal districts. An FIR has been registered against them with the Khagaria police station under sections 316(2)/316(3)/316(4)/316(5)/319(2) and 61(2) of BNS," said Bhanu. The entire network is being investigated and the police suspect the gang has links to other districts. The recovered electronic devices and documents are being subjected to forensic and technical examination. SP Bhanu Pratap Singh said the arrested accused are being interrogated thoroughly. They were arrested from St Xavier's School, Rosebud School, SR High School and a hotel located near Parmanandpur. In Darbhanga, seven were arrested on charges of malpractice involving Bluetooth devices. Those arrested include candidates taking the exam, their associates and those providing answers through technical devices from outside the centre.
