Gurgaon: Haryana police have nabbed four people, including two dentists and an MBBS student, from Rohtak for allegedly passing on answer keys to students using vests with SIM card units and bluetooth-enabled earpieces during the All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT)Â on Sunday.
Apart from probing how 90 answer keys to the highly competitive all-India test were leaked, police are also investigating at least nine candidates who allegedly paid the gang around Rs 15-20 lakh for the “help†in their bid to become doctors.
Of the four arrested, police have identified two as BDS doctors Sanchit and Bhupender, one as second-year MBBS student Ravi and the fourth as Rajesh. The alleged “kingpin†of this racket, Roop Singh Dangi, is on the run, police said.
Another MBBS doctor – his identity has been withheld – is also under the scanner for acting as a “mediator†between the accused and the students.
Police said the “engineered vests†and keys to the 90 questions were recovered from the four accused who were produced in a Rohtak court on Monday – they were sent to police custody for four days for further interrogation.
â€So far, we have received a list of nine students who appeared in the AIPMT exams by allegedly paying money to the accused. Raids are being conducted to nab all those involved,†Shrikant Jadhav, Inspector General of Police (Rohtak range), said.
â€We have also sent teams to nab those who sold these vests to the accused. Each vest was purchased by the accused at a cost of approximately Rs 9,000 each,†he added.
