In a joint operation, the Special Task Force Meerut unit and Uttarakhand Special Task Force arrested two active members of a gang involved in cheating during the SSC MTS recruitment examination. The कार्रवाई was carried out under Kotwali police station limits in Dehradun.
The arrested accused have been identified as Nitish Kumar, a resident of Deoria in Uttar Pradesh, and Bhaskar Naithani, a resident of Dehradun.
Hacking Used to Facilitate Cheating
Preliminary investigation revealed that during the SSC MTS exam, the gang enabled cheating at the Mahadev Digital Zone examination center in Dehradun through hacking. Using a master computer, they allegedly interfered with the examination system via local networking and a proxy server setup, providing remote access to assist candidates.
Devices Seized
