IIT Goa recruitment exam cheating suspects caught at Goa airport

Two individuals were apprehended by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel at Dabolim Airport in Goa for involvement in examination malpractice during an IIT Goa recruitment exam. The incident occurred as the suspects were preparing to board an Air India Express flight to Delhi.

During security screenings, officials discovered suspicious electronic devices, including multiple Bluetooth earpieces and SIM cards, in the passengers' hand baggage. One suspect reportedly confessed to using the devices to cheat and admitted to impersonating another candidate using a fake Aadhaar card. A second passenger was offloaded from the aircraft after a search of their belongings revealed similar electronic gadgets and an admit card for the Administrative Assistant position at IIT Goa.

The suspects were interrogated by intelligence and security agencies before being handed over to the local police for further legal action.
