Résumé détaillé

Jammu Police apprehended 14 suspected facilitators and seized electronic devices near JKSSB examination centres. Three FIRs and an SIT probe will examine the alleged cheating network and its beneficiaries.

Jammu Police have foiled an examination cheating racket involving electronic communication devices during the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) Finance Assistant Examination held on November 15. As many as 14 suspected facilitators were apprehended from locations near various examination centres, while several electronic devices, including wireless radio sets, were seized.

According to Jammu Police, the operation was launched following intelligence inputs about a group conspiring to help selected candidates cheat in the examination by transmitting answers using electronic communication technology.

Acting on the inputs, multiple police teams were deployed around identified examination centres to track down the suspected facilitators and prevent any attempt to compromise the examination process.

The 14 suspects were apprehended from peripheral and adjoining locations of various examination centres before the commencement of the examination. Police also recovered electronic equipment, including wireless radio sets, allegedly intended to transmit answers to candidates inside examination halls.

Three FIRs have been registered at Domana Police Station under relevant provisions of law. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has also been constituted to conduct a detailed probe into the alleged racket.

The investigation will focus on identifying the entire network, establishing the roles of the suspected facilitators and beneficiaries, tracing the source of the electronic devices and determining whether other individuals were involved in the alleged conspiracy.

Jammu Police said strict legal action would be taken against those found involved in attempts to undermine the fairness and transparency of competitive examinations.
