Overview
- Law enforcement in Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh carried out separate raids that produced multiple arrests and evidence seizures, with the Ranchi action detaining four people and the Greater Noida raid detaining seven.
- Investigators say operators used two technical methods to cheat: remote screen‑sharing and IP/internet access routed to a house near the centre in Ranchi, and a proxy‑server plus screen‑sharing system in Greater Noida that relayed papers to remote “solvers.”
- Police recovered computers, laptops, mobile phones, routers, bank cheques, original educational certificates and about Rs 50 lakh in cash from the two centres, and have registered criminal cases under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024.
- The rings ran as commercial operations that charged candidates lakhs of rupees—reports say about Rs 4 lakh in Greater Noida and Rs 6–10 lakh in the Ranchi cases—and in some instances kept original certificates as collateral to guarantee results.
- Authorities say further raids are under way to catch absconding members, investigators will check technical links to exam vendors such as Eduquity, and the busts raise fresh questions about the security of online recruitment exams after other high‑profile leaks.
