The CBI Special Task Branch Mumbai executed coordinated, multi-state raids following an FIR registered on a complaint filed by the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS).
The four arrested individuals fraudulently infiltrated multiple stages of the selection process, including written examinations and interviews, by physically posing as candidates, undermining the integrity of public examinations and depriving genuine, hardworking aspirants of their rightful opportunities.
The CBI's investigation into others involved in the racket is ongoing, the agency shared in its official statement.
