CBI Arrests Vyapam Scam Fugitive After Six Years
Imagine a test where people cheat to get ahead.
That's what happened in the Vyapam scam.
A man named Mohammad Javad was caught helping someone cheat on a medical school test in 2009.
He pretended to be the real student so the real student could pass.
After the cheating was discovered, Javad ran away for six years.
The police, called the CBI, finally found him in Aligarh where he was studying.
Now, he's in jail.
The CBI is still looking for others involved in the cheating.
The CBI arrested Mohammad Javad, a fugitive 'solver' in the Vyapam scam.
Javad was arrested in Aligarh after being on the run for six years.
The case involves the 2009 Vyapam Pre-Medical Test (PMT).
Javad appeared in the exam in place of another candidate, resulting in fraudulent selection.
24 other accused in the case are still absconding.
