Unmasked: The Shocking PSC Exam Cheating Scandal Rocking Kerala

A major breakthrough in the infamous Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) exam cheating scandal has seen the arrest of a key suspect from Kannur. The individual, identified as Rahul from Azhikode, was apprehended by the Thiruvananthapuram Cantonment police. Rahul is believed to be the crucial link in providing answers to a group of candidates who illicitly accessed exam questions during the August 2023 police constable PSC exam.

The intricate cheating operation involved a highly sophisticated network.

According to police investigations, Rahul allegedly transmitted answers via a mobile phone to individuals who then relayed them to the candidates. These candidates, using advanced digital means, managed to capture images of the question paper from inside the examination hall. The images were then sent to Rahul, who swiftly provided the correct solutions.

The scandal first came to light after the Thiruvananthapuram Cantonment police arrested three individuals in connection with the cheating during the police constable exam.

The initial arrests sparked a wider investigation, unearthing the depth of the conspiracy. The modus operandi revealed a shocking level of planning and execution, exploiting technological loopholes to compromise the integrity of the crucial PSC examination.

Authorities have stated that Rahul's arrest is a significant development, as he is suspected of being the mastermind behind the supply of answers.

His capture is expected to unravel further layers of the cheating ring, potentially leading to more arrests and a clearer understanding of the full extent of the operation. This incident has cast a shadow over the transparency and fairness of competitive examinations in the state, raising concerns among genuine aspirants.

The investigation continues, with police focusing on identifying all accomplices and beneficiaries of this fraudulent scheme.

The Kerala PSC has also initiated internal inquiries and is reviewing its security protocols to prevent such egregious acts of malpractice in future examinations, aiming to restore public trust in the integrity of its recruitment processes.
