CBI hunts for 3 key players, 10 others linked to JEE (Main) scam
New Delhi:06.09.2021
The CBI is looking for at least three key players and around 10 others who were involved in the racket of manipulating the JEE (Main) exam 2021, reports Rajshekhar Jha. Seven people, including two women have been arrested in the case till now. As per the initial probe, at least 30 candidates are believed to have availed the services of the gang till now.
Among the absconding prime suspects is a senior official of Noida-based firm Affinity Education who has gone underground since the raids and a Bangalore-based suspect who colluded with arrested suspect Ranjeet Thakur and arranged for “expert solvers”.
These solvers took remote access of the computer assigned to their students and then solved the paper for them in order to get them a higher rank. They are supposedly former engineering exam toppers and a few work as teachers as well.
Also under the scanner are a few staffers of the college in Sonipat apart from some invigilators who let the gang take control of the computer systems. CBI is also looking at the role of some other “education consultancy institutes” who were hand in glove with the gang. Certain hawala transactions are also being probed to establish the money trail.
