Patna: The Economic Offenses Unit (EOU) of Bihar Police has arrested 313 people for allegedly leaking question papers during the Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE) 3.0 conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) on March 15 . The Patna Civil Court placed all 266 of the people, including 88 women, many of them pregnant, in judicial custody at the Beur Central Jail on Sunday, in judicial custody on Saturday night.
The EOU seized gadgets, documents and question papers from the arrested persons matching those produced by BPSC. Those arrested include members of the organized gang behind the leak, solvers, candidates and drivers.
EOU sources said they have yet to identify the ringleaders of the gang. “It is speculated that there may be multiple gangs. Everyone involved in the review process is within the scope of the multi-faceted investigation,” one source said.
The EOU found that some aspirants were offered exam papers and answer keys for Rs 10 lakh each. Following this, some gang members were arrested in Patna and Vaishali.
SP (cybercrime) Vaibhav Sharma has formed an SIT to investigate the document leak.
Meanwhile, the incident took a political turn with former deputy minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav questioning the fate of over 4 lakh TRE 3.0 aspirants to the NDA government in the state. “…a leader came to Bihar…he provided jobs to more than 400,000 youths in 17 months. If he had not been betrayed, four lakh candidates will not be affected if the documents are leaked,” his office wrote in a post.
