Lucknow: A medical practitioner who masterminded uptet paper leakage for a large kickback was arrested from the Mawaya Metro station in Alambagh in Lucknow on Wednesday with a special task force (UPTF).
The defendant’s doctor, Santosh Chaurasia, has eight cases that remove him in Gwalior, Indore and Jabalpur for his role in Vyapam’s fraud that rocked Madhya Pradesh less than a decade ago.
The day after UP Teacher Up Test (UPTET) paper leaked, the name Dr.
Chaurasia appeared as a defendant and FIR was registered against it in Kaushambi Regency, which functions as a gateway scam up.
The source said, he was synchronized with polluted test controllers, Sanjay Kumar Upadhyay, who was posted in neighboring Prayagraj.
The blueprint for reaching the UPTET exam was hammered last year in Madhya Pradesh prison, where Dr.
Chauratia shared his cell with another Vikas Dixit vikas.
“It was Dixit, who placed it through the Scamster duo from Rahul Mishra and Anurag Sharma in February 2021, and they met at Noida.
Rahul is nowhere in the leakage of government work papers and has a relationship with the printer,” said the Director General of Police, STF, Amitabh Yash .
After securing the MBBS title from the Premier Delhi Medical College, Dr.
Chaurasia joined Syndicate Solvers and made a quick buck by appointing ‘Munnabhais’ (Impostsers) and won the OMR Madhya Pradesh Pre-Medical Test (PMT) sheet in 2013-2014.
And he was imprisoned after a vyapam board full of scam went bankrupt.
During the interrogation on Wednesday, Santosh revealed that he visited Lucknow in the last week of October and handed RS 3 Lakh to Rahul, who was sure to access the question paper press from the printing machine.
“Then the doctor met another channel, Roshan Patel, in Prayagraj, who promised to send uptet paper about WhatsApp for circulation among prospective exams in the east,” police officers said.
On November 28, UPTET was canceled after the question paper leaked on social media, triggered arrest of 39 people.
At least 20kh students are scheduled to write checks at 2,736 centers in two shifts.
