Jammu police intercepted a cheating operation targeting the JKSSB recruitment exam, detaining 14 suspects carrying electronic devices.
Jammu police recently uncovered a coordinated cheating network aimed at the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) recruitment examination. The operation was halted when officers raided a location where the suspects were preparing to use electronic aids during the test.
Fourteen individuals were taken into custody after investigators found a range of devices, including smartphones, smartwatches and memory sticks, that could facilitate real‑time answer transmission. The seized equipment is being examined for any links to broader cheating syndicates.
JKSSB conducts competitive exams for various state government posts, and any breach of its integrity threatens the fairness of the selection process. Authorities have emphasized that such illicit activities will be met with strict legal action.
The police have lodged formal FIRs against the arrested persons and forwarded the case to the cyber crime wing for further probing. The investigation remains ongoing to identify any additional collaborators.
