JAIPUR: The strict vigil during the constable recruitment examination led to the police nabbing over 50 suspects, all part of a well-entrenched cheating syndicate that has been preying on unemployed youths who are willing to give up to Rs 10 lakh for a government job.The sheer number of gangs operating in the state has stunned even cops. “It took a collective strength of the police department to safeguard one examination.But there are many other similar examinations where security arrangements are lax,” said an official on the condition of anonymity.The gangs which were busted in Jodhpur, Jaipur, Alwar, Bharatpur, Sikar and Nagaur offered a guaranteed selection in multiple competitive examinations, including the ongoing constable recruitment. “Many of these gangs offer impersonators, forging OMR sheets, changing answersheets or leaking question papers. We have found that most of these gangs were not in possession of any kind of resources which could rig the examination,” said the official.“There are 15 lakh candidates. Each gang is vying for a sizeable share. Their victims are usually unemployed youths from poor families who desperately need a government job which could further their social standing,” the official said, adding that even coaching centres had been involved in many of these syndicates.
