Belagavi Cyber Crime Police have arrested Vice Principal of Gadag Municipal College Maruthi Sonawane and his son Samit Kumar.
On Sunday August 7, the exam for recruiting KPTCL Junior assistants was held across the State, including at 21 test centres in the twin cities of Gadag and Bettageri. It included Gadag Municipal College. The father and son duo allegedly worked together to leak the exam questions.
Samit Kumar is alleged to have arrived at the municipal college examination centre before the test began while posing as a journalist. On his phone, he reportedly captured photos of the exam papers.
