The Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) has successfully dismantled a significant exam-rigging racket operating from an online examination centre in Greater Noida. Seven individuals were arrested for their involvement in manipulating Staff Selection Commission (SSC) recruitment tests for constables in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) and the Assam Rifles. The accused employed sophisticated methods, including proxy servers, screen-sharing software, and dummy candidates to facilitate cheating. The STF's raid at 'Balaji Digital Zone' resulted in the recovery of ₹50 lakh (approximately $60,000 USD) in cash, along with multiple electronic devices. Pradeep Chauhan, identified as the ringleader and an M.Com graduate, was instrumental in running the operation. He, along with co-accused Amit Rana, developed a system to bypass the examination centre's server, allowing them to provide answers to candidates in real-time. The gang charged candidates around ₹4 lakh (approximately $4,800 USD) for access to solved papers, with profits shared among the members. Authorities are pursuing four additional suspects who remain at large.
