Rajasthan Students Buy Rs 6 Lakh ¡®Bluetooth Chappals¡¯ To Cheat in REET Exam, Arrested
These slippers were fitted with a small calling device connected with a SIM card. A tiny Bluetooth-enabled device was fitted in the ear of the candidates which was not easily visible.
Indian students have all kinds of tricks when it comes to cheating in an exam. But a few of them have really gone too far this time.
Five people were arrested in Rajasthan for allegedly selling Bluetooth device-fitted 'chappals' worth Rs 6 lakh to candidates appearing in the teachers' recruitment exam, REET.

The gang of five people, including a woman, was arrested and a cheating racket busted by Rajasthan Police who acted after sensing something fishy by a candidate who appeared at an Ajmer centre in the Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers (REET) that was held on Sunday.
"The chappal is such it has an entire phone inside and a Bluetooth device. The candidate had a device inside his ear and someone from outside the exam hall was helping him cheat," police officer Ratan Lal Bhargav told NDTV.

The incident came to light when aspirant, Ganesh Ram Dhaka (28), who had arrived at the Acharya Shri Dharam Sagar Digambar Jain Secondary Medium School Centre in Ajmer for the REET was found wearing a Bluetooth-equipped chappal. After being questioned, the police came to know that the Bluetooth device was hidden inside his footwear.
Bikaner Police have identified the gang members - Madanlal, Trilokchand, Omprakash, Gopal Krishna, and Kiran. Dhaka was arrested by the Ajmer police, and Tuljaram Jat is absconding. Further investigation is underway.

Mobile internet and SMS were snapped in several districts of Rajasthan for 12 hours today to prevent cheating in the REET. Some 16 lakh students took the test for 31,000 posts in government schools. A person needs to pass the REET to become a teacher in Rajasthan government schools.
