Four held for SSC exam impersonation
Jaipur, July 17 : Rajasthan Police on Tuesday busted a four-member gang of impersonators involved in the SSC exam held on July 15 here. The police suspect inter-state involvement of the suspects in various other exmas.
One of the gang members flew to Delhi from Patna and hired a luxury cab to reach Jaipur, said Umesh Mishra, the Additional Director General of Special Operations Group (SOG) of the state police. The other accused reached Jaipur a day before the exam, he said.
He said SOG teams have been sent to various parts of the country on the basis of statements of the gang members that they had operated in different states for exams held by the SSC, Food Corp of India and Uttar Pradesh Police.
The four accused have been identified as Pramod Kumar, Vinay Kumar, Avnish Kumar and Chetram Meena.
While the first three are from Bihar, the fourth one is from Alwar in Rajasthan. They reportedly confessed to have taken the test on behalf of genuine candidates at different centres using fake identity.
The SOG has recovered pictures, driver's licences, Aadhaar cards and admit cards of candidates from their possession. A case has been registered against them.
The gang was in regular touch with the locals with whose help they morphed the photos.
Vinay Kumar, an accused, reportedly told the police that he tried to appear for the second phase of the police constable exam in Sikar on July 15. But on seeing the strong police presence, he left the venue.
Mishra said the police had acted on a tip-off that a few "boys" were on their way from Delhi and Bihar to appear for the exam on the basis of their fake identities. The exam was to be conducted on July 14-15.

What is Iran’s 10-point plan? Key demands ahead of US talks in Islamabad
Tehran/Islamabad: Iran has outlined a 10-point plan as the basis for upcoming talks with the United States, expected to begin in Islamabad on April 11, according to a statement from the Iranian Supreme National Security Council.
The plan lays out Tehran’s key political, military and economic demands, and is being seen as a framework for negotiations following the recent escalation in the region.
Strait of Hormuz at the centre
A major focus of the plan is the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. Iran has proposed “controlled passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the Iranian armed forces,” which it says would give the country a unique economic and geopolitical position.
The plan also calls for the “establishment of a safe transit protocol” in the Strait that would guarantee Iran’s dominance under an agreed mechanism.
Call to end conflict
Iran has demanded “the necessity of ending the war against all elements of the axis of resistance,” signalling its expectation that hostilities should stop not only in Iran but also involving allied groups in the region.
US troop withdrawal
Another key demand is the “withdrawal of US combat forces from all bases and deployment points in the region,” indicating Tehran’s long-standing position against American military presence in West Asia.
Sanctions relief and compensation
The plan places strong emphasis on economic measures. It calls for “full payment of Iran’s damages according to estimates,” along with “the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions and resolutions of the Board of Governors and the Security Council.”
It also seeks “the release of all Iranian assets and properties frozen abroad,” which have been a major point of contention for years.
Binding global guarantee
Finally, Iran has demanded that all these terms be formally recognised through “a binding Security Council resolution,” suggesting it wants international legal backing to ensure enforcement.
What this means
The 10-point plan reflects Iran’s broader push for security guarantees, economic relief and regional influence. The upcoming talks in Islamabad are expected to test how far both sides are willing to negotiate on these demands.
