CBI arrests Income Tax Inspector and others for Tampering with selection examination
HAD they passed the examination they could have become Inspectors in Customs/Excise/Income Tax or sub-inspector in CBI, but now they are in jail - their offence? They did not prepare well for the examination but used high-tech methods to cheat in the TIER-II of Combined Graduate Level Examination conducted by Staff Selection Commission on 29/09/2013 (Sunday). The gang included an Income Tax Inspector posted at ITAT, Mumbai; a Sub Inspector of Delhi Police posted at Police Station Sarai Rohilla, Delhi; three other public servants including a Translator; three private persons and five candidates/students who were allegedly tampering with the examination process.
They adopted a unique modus operandi and got question paper leaked in criminal conspiracy with unknown officials. Thereafter, the accused got the same solved with the assistance of experts. Further, when the examination was being held, they communicated the answer keys to the aspiring candidates in the examination hall through their mobile phones and other such devices in exchange of money. The aspiring candidates while working in close nexus with the group had carried the mobile sets and other such devices in the examination hall while concealing the same in their clothing. The aspirants were allegedly charged Rs.10 to 20 lakhs for providing the answer keys during examination via mobile phone. These candidates were also equipped with mobile and Bluetooth devices etc. while they were appearing in the examination.
Imagine the future when hard-core criminals become inspectors in our Customs, Central Excise, Income Tax and CBI and how fast are they going to make money if they start with an initial investment of Rs. 20 lakhs?
They used WhatsApp for this purpose and now their time is UP.
