MP Police Constable 2023 — Aadhaar-manipulated impersonation

Arrests made

Confidence C — based on the press record (archived below). No primary documents on file yet; treat names of agencies, dates and figures as reported, not established.

MP police in 2025 uncovered a racket that used manipulated Aadhaar biometrics to insert impersonators into the 2023 constable recruitment exam. District police announced a cash bounty for a schoolteacher-turned-accused with prior arrests in the Vyapam-era solver cases and the UP constable 2024 leak. Investigators describe a ring spanning proxy candidates, biometric bypassing and screen sharing in online tests.
