The Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force arrested four individuals in Kanpur for allegedly facilitating cheating in the IBPS recruitment exams by exploiting the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) category. The gang reportedly used fake disability certificates and professional solvers who took exams on behalf of candidates, charging lakhs of rupees.
