Delhi Police have dismantled an alleged exam-solving racket based in Dwarka, where one individual was arrested and 32 students were detained during a raid. The accused, identified as Harsh Vardhan (28), reportedly coordinated cheating for entrance examinations at prestigious institutions using remote desktop applications. During the raid on a building in Sector 23, police discovered that students were brought in to solve exam questions remotely. Vardhan admitted to arranging candidates for an entrance exam at a management institute in Mumbai, scheduled for April 7. He gained access to the exam's IT lab in Jaipur, Rajasthan, using remote access software. The investigation suggests a well-organized network that facilitated cheating by targeting students who had previously failed competitive exams, charging around ₹2 lakh (approximately $2,400 USD) per candidate. Authorities are continuing to investigate the extent of the operation and any additional individuals or institutions involved.
