Police detained a man who paid ₹5 lakh to the Kaler gang for a stolen exam paper and used a Bluetooth device to transmit answers to a relative.
Police have arrested a man suspected of purchasing a stolen examination paper from the Kaler gang, a criminal network known for supplying leaked question sets. The suspect reportedly handed over ₹5 lakh to the gang in exchange for the paper.
Investigators say the accused used a Bluetooth-enabled device to relay the questions to a relative who was appearing for the exam, attempting to gain an unfair advantage. The technology allowed real‑time transmission of the paper’s contents during the test.
The Kaler gang has been under scrutiny for orchestrating similar cheating schemes across multiple institutions. The arrest underscores law‑enforcement’s focus on curbing academic fraud, which is punishable under the Indian Penal Code and relevant education statutes.
