In a significant crackdown on examination fraud, a cheating racket was dismantled in Dwarka, New Delhi, where remote access to computer systems was used to facilitate cheating in entrance exams. The operation came to light following a police raid at a building known as 'Happy Homes,' where Harsh Vardhan, a resident of Patna, was arrested. He allegedly confessed to orchestrating the scheme that allowed candidates to take entrance exams for a well-known management institute in Mumbai, scheduled to occur at an IT lab in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Vardhan used software to gain unauthorized access to the lab's computer systems. Additionally, his associate, Pranjal, recruited college students to solve exam papers under the guise of providing academic assistance, paying them between ₹500 and ₹1,000 per question. The police detained 32 students from various institutions, including Delhi University and IITs, who were present at the location. They are now bound down for further investigation. Authorities have registered a case and are working to identify other participants in this organized network aimed at gaining unfair advantages in competitive examinations.
