Thereafter, all the members of the gang were arrested. Amandeep Khatkari, Surendra Singh, Sandeep, Ramdhari and Joginder Singh are the names of the accused. The mastermind of the scheme, Ramdhari, has an online exam centre for various government departments. Ramdhari created the website and started sending advertisements of openings, in the government departments, to the job aspirants, stealing the information from this centre.
Sandip, who is a software engineer, created the website. 1.5 million youths registered for the exam. Even a bank account was opened for this purpose. Surendra Singh was operating the bank account. Amandeep was withdrawing the money deposited in the account by the youths, from an ATM in Hissar. Following the arrests, police seized three laptops, seven mobile phones and Rs. 4.9 million lying in the bank account.
