CISF personnel at Goa’s Dabolim airport noticed suspicious items in a passenger's hand baggage during security checks for an Air India Express flight to Delhi, leading to the recovery of electronic devices intended for exam cheating and the subsequent offloading of his associate.
Security personnel seized several electronic devices, including multiple Bluetooth earpieces, SIM cards, an admit card for the Administrative Assistant post in the IIT Goa recruitment exam, and Aadhaar cards belonging to other individuals.
The two men were jointly questioned by intelligence and security agencies, handed over to the Dabolim airport police, and subsequently booked by the Ponda police station since the examination centre fell under its jurisdiction.
