Bhuj: Gandhidham A-Division Police booked a youth from Uttar Pradesh for cheating in the recruitment exam of Border Security Force (BSF).

The accused Devendra Sevaram Gadhariya (age 21) from Uttar Pradesh had applied for the BSF constable (General Duty) recruitment exam taken in 2021 by the Staff Selection Commission. The written exam was arranged in Ahmedabad. The accused had come to Ahmedabad to appear for the written exam. Meanwhile, he met his friend Arun at the railway station who also came there to give the exam. Arun told the accused that he will make him pass the exam in exchange of Rs 20 thousand. So, the accused paid him Rs 20 thousand.

Both gave written exams in the name of each other. Though they stuck original photos in the form so as not to get caught. The accused Devendra, who gave the exam in the name of Arun, failed in the exam. Arun, who appeared in the exam as Devendra, qualified the exam. Then, the accused Devendra came to Gandhidham for the physical test. The BSF officials suspected cheating after the accused’s biometric fingerprint mismatched. They then found the photo of another person after looking at his written exam form.
