Mumbai Police arrests 4 Haryana men for cheating in CSU exam with Bluetooth

The Story in Brief

Mumbai Police arrested four men from Haryana on Sunday for allegedly cheating in a Central Sanskrit University (CSU) recruitment exam at Kendriya Vidyalaya, IIT Powai. The accused were caught with modified Bluetooth devices hidden in their pockets, despite mobile phone jammers installed in every room. Police identified them as Devendra Singh, Bhoop Singh, Ravi Singh, and Ravindra Singh. One candidate tried to flee after an invigilator spotted suspicious behaviour but was caught by security. They were booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for common intention, cheating, and criminal conspiracy and remanded in custody by the Andheri Court on Monday.

DCP (West Zone-3) Datta Nalawade said police are investigating how the four brought the devices past security checks and whether an organised cheating network exists. The exam for Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS/Group D) posts was held across four metro cities on August 9. A total of 324 candidates appeared at the Mumbai centre. Police are also examining the seized devices and extracting call data to determine if the accused communicated with outside accomplices during the test.
