A gang of Staff Selection Commission (SSC) examination solvers, who helped candidates cheat in the exams by using remote access tool softwares like Team Viewer, are nabbed by a joint team of the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force and Delhi Police.
The accused is identified as Sonu Singh, Ajay Jaiswal, Param and Gaurav. Two other persons have also been identified by the Police, who were Harpal and Anni. Police said they were absconding. The gang would take around Rs 3 lakh to Rs 10 lakh depending on the exam from the candidates, the police said. Furthermore, the gang was also running more than ten examination centres where the candidates would cheat using the Team Viewer software.
“The accused persons would gain access to the computer systems of the candidates who paid the money. The solver would then answer all the questions using the software. When the Team Viewer software could not be used, they would take control of the computer by fixing the LAN connections with that of another computer in the exam centre and answer all the questions,” DSP (UP STF) Brijesh Singh said.
As per UP STF, the main gang leaders were Harpal and Sonu, while the two accused were in a partnership as Harpal. They would provide the required infrastructure while Sonu would help in getting candidates.
The Delhi Police said the gang members were arrested after the cops had raided a building in Timarpur area in North Delhi. The police also recovered ten mobile phones, three laptops, three luxury cars, a pen drive, hard disk and Rs five lakh in cash.
