Police in Patna have detained a principal conspirator behind the cheating racket that tainted the BPSC‑BPSSC Assistant Education Development Officer exam.
Patna police announced the arrest of a senior figure alleged to have orchestrated the cheating network surrounding the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) and Bihar Police Service Selection Commission (BPSSC) Assistant Education Development Officer (AEDO) examination. The suspect, identified in media reports as Satis and Birendra, is accused of facilitating the leak of answer keys, arranging impersonators and coordinating other fraudulent activities that disrupted the integrity of the state recruitment process.
The investigation, launched after numerous complaints from candidates and a probe by the BPSC, led officers to a residence in Patna where the accused was taken into custody. Law enforcement officials said the arrest was the result of a coordinated operation involving the state police and the commission's anti‑malpractice cell.
Authorities have indicated that further inquiries are underway to uncover the full extent of the racket and to identify any additional participants. The BPSC has pledged to review the affected exam, consider re‑conducting it, and implement stricter security measures to prevent future violations.
The development comes amid heightened public scrutiny of competitive examinations in Bihar, with candidates demanding transparent and fair selection processes. The police have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward to aid the ongoing investigation.
