The Uttarakhand Special Task Force (STF) has made significant progress in dismantling a sophisticated cheating racket involved in the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) exams. Ishwari Prasad, also known as Indrajit Sharma, was arrested while attempting to set up high-tech cheating devices at St John's Academy in Dehradun. This operation was part of a broader crackdown initiated after the SSC's Multi-Tasking Staff and Havaldar recruitment exam on February 13, during which the cheating methods were first uncovered. The STF has now arrested four members of the racket, with the latest arrest yielding a substantial cache of equipment, including a laptop, mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, and fake identification cards. Following these developments, the examination center at St John's Academy has been sealed to prevent further cheating, especially as it was slated to host another SSC exam on May 18. The Regional Director of the SSC has been notified about the situation, as investigations reveal that the servers at the academy were compromised during previous examinations.
