The administration in Rajasthan was on full alert for the Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment exam this year. Following the major scandals of paper leaks, dummy candidates, and cheating during the previous recruitment exam (2021), the government and police took no chances this time.
In a major crackdown just before the exam, police and special teams arrested 15 suspected mafia and cheating gang members . All of them had been under surveillance for a long time and were planning to disrupt the exam.
Surveillance on 1000 mobile towers: Hi-tech surveillance
This time technology was used extensively to make the examination transparent.
Around 1000 mobile towers across the state were put under surveillance.
Suspicious calls, location and network activity monitored
Strict action was taken against internet and suspicious communications around the examination centres.
Those 6 big plans that stopped the fraud
1. Surveillance of already identified mafias
A list of suspects involved in previous cases was prepared and continuous tracking was done.
2. Mobile Network Control
Mobile and internet activities were restricted around the exam centre.
3. Strict measures to prevent dummy candidates
Fake candidates were prevented through biometric verification and strict identity checks.
4. CCTV and Flying Squad
CCTV cameras and surprise inspection teams were deployed at every examination centre.
5. Strict paper security measures
The question papers were transported from the strong room to the centre under tight security.
6. Special police team and intelligence input
A joint team of intelligence agencies and police has already broken the network.
Lessons learned from the mistake of 2021
Large-scale paper leaks and fraud were reported during the SI recruitment exam in 2021, forcing the entire exam to be canceled. This year, based on that experience, a strict strategy was adopted. This time, the administration's actions clearly demonstrate its commitment to ensuring a clean and transparent examination system. Timely action against the racketeering gang and high-tech monitoring have increased the likelihood of a peaceful and fair examination.
