The Jaipur police have busted an alleged cheating racket related to the Rajasthan Para Medical Council (RPMC) examination, arresting four people, including college officials, for allegedly planning to help 45 first-year pre-medical students clear the exam in exchange for Rs 5.5 lakh, according to a India Today report.
According to the police, diaries, WhatsApp chats and PDFs of admit cards recovered during the investigation revealed details of the alleged conspiracy. Officials said further investigations are underway to identify other people who may have been involved in the racket.

Reports add that the Police received information on June 27 that a racketeer was collecting money from students by promising them help during pre-medical examinations scheduled to begin on June 29.
The developments came on the same day that viral videos of the chaotic scenes reported at the Prabha Devi Memorial Examination Center in Jaipur started doing the rounds. Candidates alleged that questions were distributed to some students late, sparking protests inside the exam centre.
Delayed distribution of questions
According to videos circulating on social media, candidates claimed that students sitting on the ground floor got their question papers on time and started writing the exam, while many on the second and third floors were left waiting despite repeatedly approaching the exam staff.
The delay led to protests inside the centre, with some candidates claiming the exam was not conducted fairly. Some social media users also linked the incident to a possible letter leak, although no official confirmation has been released regarding these claims.
The videos show riots at the examination center
As tensions escalated, the situation reportedly turned chaotic, with videos circulating on social media showing damaged furniture and examination materials scattered across parts of the campus.
Footage shows question papers scattered across roofs and tarpaulins, plastic chairs overturned and large groups of students gathered in corridors, stairwells and balconies. Some candidates can be seen holding answer sheets while others are seen arguing with the officials.

Some posts also alleged that a section of candidates were forced to take the exam under temporary tents and described the conduct of the exam as marred by “numerous irregularities”.
The investigation is ongoing
Police are continuing their investigation into the alleged fraud and are examining digital evidence recovered during the raids, including WhatsApp chats and admit card documents, to identify other beneficiaries and those involved in facilitating the alleged malpractice.
The authorities are yet to issue a detailed statement on the allegations of late question paper distribution or alleged cheating.
