Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal on Tuesday slammed AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann over the alleged “massive scam” that has taken place in the pharmacy officer recruitment exam in Punjab.
“A massive scam has taken place in the pharmacy officer recruitment exam in Punjab, which has ruined the future of thousands of students… Several students were caught cheating in the exam using pen cameras and Bluetooth devices. Children were being made to pass the exam for lakhs of rupees,” Maliwal wrote on X.

“So far, neither Arvind Kejriwal nor Bhagwant Mann has issued a single statement, nor has any action been taken. Earlier, when students were protesting for jobs, there was a brutal lathi charge on the youth in Punjab. Arvind Kejriwal, who gives provocative speeches every day about turning India into Nepal, has no concern for the students. It’s all deception and trickery,” she added.
SHOCKING : पंजाब में pharmacy officer recruitment exam में बहुत बड़ा scam हुआ जिससे हज़ारों छात्रों का भविष्य ख़राब हुआ है ‼️
Exam में कई छात्र pen cameras और bluetooth device के सहारे चीटिंग करते पकड़े गए। लाखों रुपये लेकर बच्चों को exam पास करवाया जा रहा था।
अब तक केजरीवाल और…

This comes days after Punjab Police dismantled an inter-state cheating racket operating during the pharmacy officer recruitment examination.
As per officials, police detained seven key conspirators of the racket along with 28 candidates, besides seizing 27 battery-operated wireless devices used for cheating.
During the examination, police reportedly detected the use of pen cameras and real-time dictation. The exam centres were set up at Faridkot and Ferozepur.
In a statement, police said that a candidate, identified as Ayush in Ferozepur, allegedly used a concealed pen camera to scan the question paper. It was later sent to an accomplice, Sajan, in Bhiwani, Haryana, via WhatsApp.
Sajan then sent it to another operative of the racket, Deepak, who was stationed at a makeshift control room inside the residence of Gurmeet Singh in Faridkot’s Society Nagar.
From this location, key accused Manjit Singh and Deepak are believed to have dictated the answers in real-time via wireless equipment to several candidates sitting inside the exam halls, the statement added.
