Admit cards of 20 candidates were sent to this group, copies of which were recovered by the police from their seized bag. Munger was the examination center for all these candidates.
Under the setting, biometric operators and supervisors were to provide correct answers to all the questions to all the candidates during the examination. This was the first WhatsApp group. ‘Master’ had also created another WhatsApp group named ‘Munger Solution’.
In this group the ‘Master’ himself was the one to send the correct answers to the questions. After getting the answer, our people would send it to the candidate. In return for this, Sujal and his helpful friends were going to get money.
