58 Members Of Solver Gang Arrested

More than 48 lakh candidates have registered for the constable recruitment exam. Of these, nearly 6 lakh candidates are from other states. Under a comprehensive campaign conducted prior to the evening session of the exam, 58 members of solver gangs have been arrested. Among them, eight were arrested by the police in Ghazipur district and six by the STF from Varanasi, Agra and Jhansi. The gang caught in Ghazipur includes an Indian Coast Guard and an army personnel. Additionally, five people were arrested in Mau. 

Dummy Candidate Caught Through Biometrics

A dummy candidate was arrested through biometric verification as he attempted to take the police recruitment exam in place of another individual. The dummy candidate, reportedly from Patna, Bihar, was found attempting the exam at Bloomings Birds School in the Mainpuri Kotwali area. However, his true identity was revealed as his fingerprint did not match during biometric verification.

The police are currently interrogating this person and investigating how many others may be involved in this scheme. Before entering the exam center, candidates' retinas are scanned, and their photos are matched through biometric verification. After these checks, candidates are granted entry into the exam center.

To ensure the integrity of the exam and prevent any malpractice, each exam center is equipped with CCTV control rooms, along with separate control rooms dedicated to monitoring the entire exam. Additionally, small jammers have been installed at all exam centers to prevent the operation of any electronic devices within the premises.
