The Special Operations Group (SOG) has captured a dummy candidate who took a senior Hindi teacher recruitment exam on behalf of a genuine aspirant in Ajmer, ending a two‑year manhunt.
The Special Operations Group (SOG) of Rajasthan announced the arrest of a man who posed as a dummy candidate in the 2022 senior Hindi teacher recruitment examination held in Ajmer. The individual had sat for the exam in place of a genuine applicant, effectively falsifying the selection process.
Authorities said a reward of Rs 10,000 had been announced for information leading to the suspect's capture. The fugitive had been on the run for nearly two years before being located by SOG operatives.
Police officials confirmed that the arrest was part of a broader crackdown on fraudulent practices in state recruitment exams, emphasizing that such deception undermines the integrity of the hiring system for teachers.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about impersonation and proxy candidates in competitive examinations, prompting calls for stricter verification measures in future recruitment drives.
