The story

The Rajasthan Police arrested three individuals on Saturday for allegedly selling fraudulent National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) question papers generated using artificial intelligence. According to law enforcement, the suspects operated via Telegram channels, including one named 'Paper Mafia' run by a 19-year-old resident of Bhilwara. The perpetrators reportedly charged students ₹4,000 per paper and utilized Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to mask their digital footprint. Investigators state that the suspects used AI tools to alter historical exam questions, presenting them to victims as leaked upcoming papers. This enforcement action highlights emerging concerns over the deployment of consumer-facing AI tools to execute low-cost, high-reach scams in the education sector.
