Seven Detained for Cheating and Impersonation Attempts

Major Crackdown on Exam Malpractice at Tripura University

Tripura University witnessed a major crackdown on exam malpractice during the Lower Division Clerk (LDC) and Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) recruitment exams. Seven individuals were detained for attempting to cheat, raising concerns about the integrity of the examination process.

Suspicious Behaviour Leads to Discovery of Cheating

Invigilators grew suspicious of five candidates exhibiting unusual behaviour during the exams. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these individuals had hidden mobile phones among their belongings and were using them to cheat. The accused included three candidates from West Bengal and two from Haryana. All five were immediately expelled from the examination centre.

Impersonation Attempts Foiled

In addition to the five caught cheating, two other individuals were caught attempting to impersonate legitimate candidates using fake identification. These individuals were identified as Pankaj Kumar from Bihar and Ramveer Meena from Rajasthan. Their fraudulent activities were uncovered when invigilators cross-checked their registration details.

Investigation and Concerns

All seven individuals were subsequently detained and handed over to the Amtali police. Further investigations are ongoing. This incident raises concerns over exam integrity and underscores the need for stricter monitoring measures to prevent such activities in the future. Authorities are expected to take stringent actions to ensure the sanctity of the examination process remains intact.
