Patna ( The Indian View Team) : Bihar police on Monday identified the 'solver gang' that tried to manipulate the Bihar Police Radio Operator recruitment examination.15 individuals, including its members, candidates, teachers and the superintendent of an examination centre in Khagaria district, have been arrested.

The recruitment examination for 993 Radio Operator posts in the Bihar Police was conducted last Sunday. Around 2.83 lakh candidates had applied for the examination, which was held simultaneously at 544 centres across all 38 districts of the state.

Bhanu Pratap Singh, SP, Khagaria, said that the preliminary investigation showed the gang lured candidates with false promises of ensuring their success in the examination and charged between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 6 lakh from each candidate.

Blank cheques were allegedly collected so the agreed amount could be withdrawn from the candidates’ bank accounts after the examination.

The SP said that the joint operation was carried out under the leadership of Khagaria Sadar SDPO-I Mukul Kumar Ranjan and Cyber DSP Nishant Gaurav. All those arrested are being interrogated, while efforts are continuing to identify and arrest other members of the alleged network.
