A cyber crime involving the sale of 'leaked' MP Civil Services Exam question papers was blown open when authorities found the culprit to be a class 10 student from Rajasthan. The teenager reportedly learned fraudulent techniques from YouTube and aimed to use the proceeds for purchasing high-end clothes and shoes.

The student also fraudulently claimed to sell the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) paper. The suspect, hailing from Jhunjhunu district, had manipulated job aspirants out of their money by offering state service exam papers for Rs 2,500 each via a Telegram channel, said Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Tushar Singh.

The student, who did not actually possess any real exam papers, would block the victims' mobile numbers after payment was made through a provided QR code. He has been issued a notice under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and the case is under rigorous investigation, potentially involving the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as well as local authorities.
