12 held for taking money to leak REET question paper

Twelve persons were arrested and several others detained in various districts for allegedly duping candidates appearing for the Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers (REET) by 'leaking' fake question papers for the test conducted today.
As of now, 12 persons have been arrested in Bharatpur, while seven have been detained in Jodhpur, one in Dausa and seven including a woman in Nagaur. They are being interrogated, said Additional DGP (SOG) Alok Tripathi, who is monitoring the operation.
These people are members of various gangs allegedly involved in leaking question papers through WhatsApp or circulating them in printed form among candidates on the night before or early morning on the day of the exam, he said.

"No question which they provided to the candidates matches with the original paper of REET therefore it was not leaked," Tripathi said.
Around Rs 7 lakh and Rs 4.5 lakh, was recovered from the accused in Nagaur and Bharatpur, respectively, the Additional DGP said.
In Bharatpur, photocopies ofidentity cards and other documents of some candidates, laptop, scanner, mobile handsets, SIM cards were also recovered from the accused, Additional SP Bharat Meena said.
