Mumbai police arrest 4 Haryana men for CSU exam cheating
Powai police arrested four Haryana residents on Sunday for allegedly using a modified mobile phone and Bluetooth buds to cheat during a Central Sanskrit University (CSU) non-teaching written exam at Kendriya Vidyalaya…
The Story in Brief
Powai police arrested four Haryana residents on Sunday for allegedly using a modified mobile phone and Bluetooth buds to cheat during a Central Sanskrit University (CSU) non-teaching written exam at Kendriya Vidyalaya in IIT-Bombay. The men, aged 25 to 30, are identified as Devendra Singh, Bhoop Singh, Ravi Singh, and Ravindra Singh. Police say the Rs700 phone, assembled from parts, was just two and a half inches and had only calling features. Invigilators grew suspicious of the men's body language and caught Devendra Singh with the device in his pant pocket; he tried to flee but was stopped by security.
Three others were found with similar devices. Police have booked them under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for cheating and criminal conspiracy. The Times of India reports 324 candidates appeared at the Mumbai centre, and jammers were installed in the exam rooms. Police are probing whether the men dialled any number after the exam began and who supplied the modified gadgets. The four were remanded in custody after being produced before the Andheri court.
The Indian Opinion
This case fuels two opposing narratives: that exam cheating is rampant and security is easily defeated, or that vigilance systems work. The truth is mixed. Jammers existed and an alert invigilator caught the suspects, yet a tiny phone got past the security check. The real test is whether police trace the supplier of these Rs700 devices and uncover any wider network behind the four candidates.
