STF Busts Gang Helping Candidates Cheat In SSC Multi-Tasking Staff Exam; Two Held From Dehradun

Singh added that Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Jagdish Chandra Pant of STF Dehradun performed a radical search of the UPS room situated close to the examination lab, during which two laptops have been discovered operating, with a shifting cursor, suggesting they have been being operated remotely.

“One laptop had two open windows, one partially displaying a terminal window, and another window above it displayed 16 cards/icons, below which the private IP address and port number were displayed. A second laptop placed in front of it showed four open windows. One window displayed a network connection, displaying “Internet” and “Wi-Fi Not Correct” icons. The second window, partially visible, appeared to be a terminal, displaying some IP addresses. The title bar of the third window displayed the RealVNC viewer. The fourth window displayed “Check (Running) Oracle VM VirtualBox”, and the main window displayed some icons. Additionally, an Ethernet adapter, router, charger, and other items were seen in the chamber,” Singh stated.

Singh stated the accused who have been arrested on Friday have been recognized as Nitish Kumar, a resident of UP’s Deoria and Bhaskar Naithani of Dehradun and 4 cell phones, two laptops, and an web router have been seized from them. Previously, Nitish got here to the identical centre in November 2025 for the Delhi Police Driver examination performed by the SSC when he bought this setup put in by his associates.

“His fellow gang members told him that they were charging Rs 10 lakh from each candidate to help them clear the exam. If he had any candidates, he would take Rs four lakh in advance, and the remaining amount would be paid after they passed. Nitish used to open the UPS room’s chamber between 6 am and 6:30 am on the day of the exam, turn on the laptop, then close the chamber with the lid, and hide it with other items,” Singh stated.
