In a striking resemblance to the iconic Bollywood film Munna Bhai MBBS, a solver gang was busted at an exam center during the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UPSSSC) recruitment test for Gram Panchayat Officer (VPO), Gram Vikas Adhikari (VDO), and Samaj Kalyan Paryavekshak.
The Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (UPSTF) apprehended 14 individuals involved in the cheating racket.
The incident unfolded during the examination, which was being conducted in four shifts across 737 examination centers in 20 districts of Uttar Pradesh.
The STF's swift action led to the arrest of seven members of the solver gang, hailing from Lakhnaur, Gomti Nagar Extension, and Bareilly, along with other accomplices.
These cheats had adopted ingenious methods to impersonate candidates and secure high-paying positions in the recruitment exams. Strikingly, one impersonator was found using a Bluetooth-enabled hearing device, just like the character played by Sanjay Dutt in Munna Bhai MBBS. To recover the hidden device, STF personnel resorted to using a pair of tweezers, delicately extracting it from the individual's auditory canal.
Authorities revealed that these solvers demanded substantial sums of money from aspiring candidates seeking to bypass the exam and secure desirable positions. However, the UPSTF's vigilance and efforts have successfully thwarted their illicit activities, preventing unfair advantages and ensuring a level playing field for all candidates.
The arrests took place amid the ongoing examination for various posts within the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UPSSSC). The swift action by the STF has sent a strong message against malpractice, reassuring the integrity and transparency of the recruitment process.
The UPSSSC has pledged to tighten security measures and enhance the scrutiny of candidates to prevent such incidents in the future. The incident serves as a reminder that cheating in exams will not be tolerated, and strict action will be taken against those involved.
As investigations continue, the UPSTF aims to dismantle solver gangs and apprehend all those complicit in cheating schemes. The authorities are determined to ensure the recruitment process remains fair, unbiased, and merit-based, preserving the trust of candidates and the public at large.
With the Munna Bhai MBBS-like impersonation being unveiled at the UPSSC recruitment exam center, it serves as a stark reminder that cheating and fraud have no place in the pursuit of public service, emphasizing the need for stringent measures to maintain the sanctity of such crucial examinations.
