A gang involved in tampering with the answer sheets of class X and XII examinations of Rajasthan board of secondary education has been busted in Sawaimadhopur district in Jaipur, police said today.

Following a tip off, the police conducted a raid in the wee hours yesterday and nabbed two homeguards Man Singh Meena and Rajesh Meena who in connivance with the in-charge of the center Omprakash Kumawat and two other government employees used to pass the answer sheets to the students.
