The Story in Brief
A petitioner has alleged Bluetooth-assisted cheating in Punjab's pharmacy officer recruitment exam, claiming candidates used Bluetooth devices and a pen camera to photograph and transmit the question paper. India Today reports that the allegations have intensified a court battle that has already stalled 454 appointments. The petitioner, Keshav, said authorities failed to install jammers to block Bluetooth signals and that police arrived only after the exam ended. He called it a 'complete system failure' and urged Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to ensure a fair investigation. The Punjab government has not publicly responded. The matter is pending before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
The Indian Opinion
Charges of a 'complete system failure' and a government cover-up are tempting, but the only concrete fact so far is that the High Court stalled 454 appointments based on petitions. The Punjab government has yet to respond, and the petitioner's own account, that police caught only two to three candidates, suggests the scale of the racket may be smaller than claimed. Watch how many of the 454 positions are eventually filled after the court's inquiry.
