Seventeen people, including superintendent of an examination centre and 14 invigilators, have been booked under the Gangster Act for allegedly aiding mass copying at an exam centre here during the Uttar Pradesh Board examinations.
The accused, including superintendent of the centre Yogender Pal, were arrested during a Special Task Force raid last month when the mass copying was caught during the Class XII Physics paper.
District Magistrate Ajay Shanker Pandey said here on Sunday that on the recommendation of the police, 17 people, including Yogender Pal, 14 invigilators and two others, Intakhab and Asher Nafis, were booked under the Gangster Act.
