Ranchi. A high-tech cheating case has been exposed during the SSC GD Constable recruitment examination at an online test centre in the Pandra police station area, where police arrested six candidates for allegedly using remote access technology to manipulate the exam. Investigators said questions were being solved automatically on computer screens, indicating the involvement of an external solver network operating in real time.
Remote Access Used to Solve Questions
According to officials, invigilators grew suspicious during the first shift after noticing that several candidates were continuously looking at their computer screens while questions appeared to be getting solved without visible manual input.

Authorities were alerted immediately, and a police team reached the centre to begin a technical examination. The initial probe found that multiple computers at the centre were allegedly being controlled through remote access from an external server.
Investigators said a solver gang operating from outside was allegedly answering questions in real time, with responses appearing directly on candidates’ screens.
Six Candidates Arrested, Systems Seized
Police arrested six candidates in connection with the case. Five of them are reportedly from Bihar, while one is from the Kodarma region. Among those detained are candidates identified as Rishikesh and Rahul.
All systems used in the examination have been seized, and a detailed digital forensic investigation has been initiated. Officials are examining the computers, network connections and access logs to determine how the remote system was installed and operated.
Police are also investigating whether any technical staff or insiders at the examination centre helped facilitate the alleged setup.
Wider Solver Gang Link Under Probe
Preliminary findings suggest the case may be part of a larger organised racket exploiting technical loopholes in computer-based examinations. Investigators suspect the gang used remote software tools to infiltrate the examination network and control systems from outside locations.
Authorities are also examining whether the same network was involved in similar recruitment examination frauds in other regions. Police said interrogation of the arrested candidates is continuing, and efforts are underway to identify other members of the solver gang.
Following the incident, administrative authorities are planning a technical audit of examination centres in the region. Officials said network security, system access controls and live monitoring mechanisms will be reviewed to prevent similar incidents in future recruitment exams.
