Rohtak, March 31

The Rohtak police has arrested Roop Singh Dangi (in pic), the mastermind behind the infamous All-India Pre-medical Test (AIPMT)-2015 paper leak case.

After the Rohtak range police unearthed the hi-tech nationwide racket, the Supreme Court had cancelled the AIPMT conducted in May, 2015, and a fresh exam was conducted thereafter.

An SIT was constituted and nearly 30 persons had been arrested in connection with the case while the prime suspect, Dangi, had been dodging the police for several months.

“Dangi, who had been declared a proclaimed offender and carried a reward of Rs 1 lakh, was arrested from Jakhoda Road near the Bahadurgarh bypass today,” Rohtak SP Shashank Anand told the media today.

“He will be produced before the court tomorrow,” Anand said, adding that the racket was spread across the country and the possible role/involvement of officials of the government agencies that conducted the test would also be examined.

The AIPMT-2015 was conducted across the country on May 3. On that day, the Rohtak range police arrested four persons, including two dental surgeons and an MBBS student. An FIR was registered in this regard.
