KANPUR: As many as 10 persons, including the kingpin, had been arrested on Saturday by way of the Special Task Force for providing 'solvers' to the applicants in the ongoing Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) Group-D Examination-2018.
"The arrests have been made from Kalyanpur area of the city. The modus operandi of the gang is to provide 'solvers', who impersonate the candidates and appear for the examination on their behalf," police said.
STF have recovered 11 mobile phones, 21 admit cards, one fake voter ID card, five clean cheques, 3 driving licenses, one Paytm card, 19 Aadhar cards, six ATM cards, 3 PAN cards, a motorcycle, 3 driving license, one scooty and Rs 56,000 in cash. The gang used to take Rs 5 to six lakh from each and every candidate and send fake examinees as impersonators to appear for the ongoing Group-D examination of the railways which started in September. Over 62,000 posts would be stuffed by way of the exam.
"The breakthrough was made following arrest of a solver in TET exam in Moradabad recently," said accountable for STF's Kanpur region Ghanshyam Yadav, including that the gang used to price Rs 5 to six lakh from each and every candidate for showing as a solver in exam. STF had got a tip-off that gang members would be coming to Kalyanpur for Group-D exam and take a look at to get those solvers to take the exam as a substitute of the actual applicants.
