The CSIR NET exam 2024 was conducted today, July 27, 2024. In a shocking revelation, a group of the state's special task force (STF) detained seven individuals who were reportedly involved in supplying answers for the CSIR-NET exam.
The names of the four applicants that were detained are reportedly Ankit, Monika, Tamanna, and Jyoti. They are all from Haryana. Apart from them, three more people have been arrested, including, Vineet Kumar, a computer lab assistant; Ankur Saini, a server operator from NSEIT, the business that administers the online exam; and Arun Sharma, the information technology manager of Subharti University.
According to an STF press release, candidates were charged a significant sum of money by the gang members in exchange for the online responses for the CSIR NET exam. As per the financial arrangement, Vineet Kumar and Ankur Saini received ₹10,000 each, and Arun Sharma received ₹50,000 each.
The STF team allegedly found three cell phones, a laptop, two pendrives, two PAN cards, five CPUs, four identity cards for the exam, three Aadhar cards, and some documents alongside other things, according to multiple media reports. During the CIR-NET exam, the Subharti University in Meerut's law department computer lab was raided by the STF team, led by ASP Brajesh Kumar Singh, reported the Hindustan Times.
According to numerous media sources, the inquiry showed that Arun Sharma had installed a parallel system in his room and obtained unauthorized access to the exam server with the help of Ankur Saini, the server operator at NSEIT, and Vineet Kumar, the lab assistant.
After the exam files were compromised, an accomplice in Haryana by the name of Ajay organised exam solvers to finish the exams and return the answers to the candidates who had paid for this illegal service, reported the Hindustan Times.
