# Four Haryana candidates arrested for cheating with modified devices in Mumbai exam 2026-08-15T15:55:43+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Four candidates from Haryana were arrested for cheating with seven modified mobile devices during a Central Sanskrit University non-teaching written exam at Kendriya Vidyalaya in IIT-Powai on August 9. The Powai police said the devices were bare circuit boards without screens or keyboards, with a micro-camera disguised as a shirt button and Bluetooth earbuds inserted deep into the ear canal. Doctors had to extract one Bluetooth device stuck in a suspect’s ear. The suspects, identified as Devendra Singh, Bhoop Singh, Ravi Singh and Ravindra Singh, were sent to jail for 14 days after completing five days of police custody. Police inspector Ganesh Patil said no paper leak was uncovered. Investigators are tracing those who supplied the devices and checking if a larger criminal network is involved. Three unidentified individuals discarded similar devices outside the exam hall after the arrests. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Central Sanskrit University, Ganesh Patil, Haryana, Mumbai, Powai police Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/four-haryana-candidates-arrested-for-cheating-with-modified-devices-in-mumbai-exam/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
