Students have been known to find the most creative ways to cheat during exams. However, this time, Rajasthan police exposed a unique cheating scandal during the Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers (REET).
It involved the use of ‘bluetooth slippers’ to pass students information during exams. Times Now reports that the students fitted calling devices inside specially-made chappals. 5 people involved were nabbed by cops in Bikaner, where they realized that the main accused was Tulsi Ram Kaler. He who owns a coaching centre in the area and sold these modified slippers to kids for Rs 6 lakh each.
“One of the accused in the case is a suspended sub-inspector and we are making efforts to arrest him,” said IG Bikaner Prafulla Kumar.
