In five FIRs registered against 16 candidates for cheating in physical tests during police recruitment, the cops have found that most candidates are from Ahmednagar. All the cases were registered during a physical test of 1,600-metre run, in which the accused candidates exchanged chips which were given to them to record their running timings.

In many cases, the accused even broke the world record of 3.43 seconds by finishing the race from 3. 39 mins to 3. 42 mins. The investigators suspect the involvement of academies in Ahmednagar which prepare candidates for police tests and soon they will go there to investigate them.
