9 held for malpractice in KPTCL exam
The Gokak Town police have arrested nine suspects in connection with the alleged malpractices during a recruitment examination held to fill up the posts of junior assistant sat KPTCL. Four suspects are still at large.
The police said malpractices have come to the fore in two examination centres. Among the nine suspects, three are candidates who leaked question papers, those who readied answers and those who facilitated cheating using Bluetooth devices and sim card units. One is a teacher and the others are government employees.
SP Dr Sanjeev Patil said the suspects had used smartwatches at the examination centre in Gokak and sent question papers by using the Telegram app and another candidate had filed a complaint.
