Chandigarh: The CBI
arrested 15 people, including eight women, for leaking medical
entrance examination papers via mobile applications using smartphones, an official said here Sunday.
Interrogation of the accused by the Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) revealed that the gang was using latest mobile
applications to leak question papers of the M.D. and M.S. (doctor
of medicine and master of surgery) entrance examination of the
Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER)
here.
The 15 accused were sent to CBI custody till Nov 15 by a court
here Sunday.
The matter came to light following simultaneous raids Saturday by
the CBI in Chandigarh and other places to bust the racket. The
raids were conducted during the examination being held here. The
examination was stopped following the raids.
The course is very sought after by medicine graduates (MBBS) and
only a few among hundreds are able to get into it.
CBI sources said the gang would take pictures of the questions
papers and transfer them through another software using
high-resolution fonts.
Subject experts sitting hundreds of kilometres away in Patna and
Hyderabad, delivered the answers to the "beneficiaries" in
examination halls through touts in a hotel here.
"We have seized smartphones from eight women who were inside the
examination hall yesterday. They were using latest mobile
applications to transfer data," a CBI official said here.
CBI counsel P.K. Dogra said that the probe agency had sought the
remand of the accused to investigate who else were involved in the
entrance paper leakage.
Two years ago, the CBI had investigated another racket for
admission to the M.D. and M.S. course at the PGIMER.
