‘Bluetooth Chappal’: How some tried to cheat in Rajasthan’s top exam?
HungHao / The Dawn Tantak
Sep'28,021: FIVE people have been arrested in Rajasthan for trying to cheat in a crucial exam for selection of teachers for government schools. Officials said the candidates were found wearing “slippers” with Bluetooth devices fitted in the sole.
After the first person was caught cheating in Ajmer, the police soon found an entire cheating racket involving candidates in the highly competitive Rajasthan Eligibility Test or REET for teachers across the state. Similar slippers with Bluetooth and mobile devices have been found in Bikaner and Sikar.
Police officer Ratan Lal Bhargava said, “The slippers are such that there is a complete phone and a Bluetooth device inside.
The candidate had a device inside his ear and someone from outside the examination hall was helping him to cheat.”
The police are still uncovering this elaborate fraud conspiracy, which in itself appears to be a small scale industry. Sources said the “fraudulent slippers” were “smartly manufactured” and some reports suggest that candidates for fraud could have been sold with hardware for up to Rs 2 lakhs.
