Five people have been arrested for trying to cheat in an important exam for selecting teachers for government schools in Rajasthan. The candidates were found wearing "chappals" with Bluetooth devices fitted inside the sole, officials have said.

After the first person was caught cheating in Ajmer, the police soon found an entire cheating racket across the state involving candidates in the highly competitive Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers or REET. Similar chappals have been found with Bluetooth and mobile devices in Bikaner and Sikar.

"The chappal is such it has an entire phone inside and a Bluetooth device. The candidate had a device inside his ear and someone from outside the exam hall was helping him cheat," police officer Ratan Lal Bhargav said.
