Rajasthan Police Constable Recruitment Exam Postponed


Following mass cheating report, the second leg of Rajasthan Police Recruitment exam has been postoned. 
According to a statement from the Rajasthan Police, the exams which are scheduled from March 20 to March 31 have been cancelled. 

While the exam started on March 7, 2018, the recruitment authorities have not released any new dates for the postponed exams. 

Rajasthan's special operation group (SOG) on Friday arrested five more people for facilitating cheating during the Rajasthan police constable recruitment exam, an official said.

As many as 21 accused have been arrested so far in the case. On Monday, six people were arrested for facilitating online cheating during the exam, the official said.

Two key accused of a gang that cloned thumbprints of candidates and sent proxies to write the exam were arrested today, Additional Director General (SOG) Umesh Mishra said. 

In a separate cheating racket case, three accused, including prime accused and centre director were also arrested today, Mishra said.

It was found that the gang made a thumbprint impression of the original candidate and pasted it on the thumb of the proxy who took the exam.

"It was also learnt that they used some oil to make the fake thumbprint last for at least one hour. Candidates managed to cheat the biometric attendance system," Mishra said.
