A candidate from Haryana was caught using a Bluetooth device for cheating in the multipurpose health worker (MPHW) recruitment test at Baba Farid Public School in Faridkot.

Vikram, a resident of Gajuwala village in Fatehabad district, was found communicating with an aide outside the school using a Bluetooth earpiece and transmitter while attempting the exam.

The test for the recruitment of 270 MPHW (male) in Health and Family Welfare Department, Punjab, was conducted by the BFUHS on Sunday.

Inspector Guranditta Singh said based on Vikram’s interrogation, another accomplice waiting outside the school was arrested. Their village associate Kuldeep Singh has also been booked. A case has been registered and further investigation is underway.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
