3 FIRs Registered At Domana Police Station, SIT Constituted To Probe Entire Network
Jammu, Nov 15 :
Jammu Police on Sunday claimed to have foiled an alleged attempt to facilitate cheating in the JKSSB Finance Assistant Examination through the clandestine use of electronic communication devices.
In a handout to GNS, the Police said credible intelligence inputs were received regarding a group allegedly conspiring to help selected candidates use unfair means during the examination held on Saturday.
Acting swiftly on the inputs, multiple police teams were constituted and strategically deployed around identified examination centres to detect and apprehend the suspected facilitators and prevent any attempt to compromise the fairness of the examination.
During the operation, 14 suspected individuals were apprehended from peripheral and adjoining locations of various examination centres before the commencement of the examination. Several electronic devices, including wireless radio sets allegedly meant to transmit answers to candidates inside the examination halls, were recovered and seized.
In this regard, three FIRs have been registered at Police Station Domana under relevant provisions of law. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has also been constituted to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the matter.
Police said the investigation will focus on identifying the entire network involved in the alleged conspiracy, establishing the specific roles of the suspected facilitators and beneficiaries, tracing the source and procurement of the electronic devices, and ascertaining the possible involvement of other individuals.
Jammu Police reiterated their commitment to ensuring fair, transparent and peaceful conduct of competitive examinations and warned that strict legal action shall be taken against all those found involved in such unlawful activities.(GNS)
