UP STF Arrests ITI Principal and Staff for Alleged Exam Impersonation Racket
The Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force arrested 10-11 individuals, including the principal, examination in-charge, and instructors of the Government Industrial Training Institute (ITI) in Naini, Prayagraj, for allegedly running a racket that allowed impersonators to take computer-based exams for registered candidates in exchange for money. The arrests followed a raid during the All India Trade Test conducted in multiple shifts from July 11 to August 8. Authorities recovered exam materials, cash, and electronic devices, and investigations continue to locate an additional suspect believed to be coordinating the scheme.
