Cases have been registered against Saran in two different police stations in Udaipur. At present Saran has been kept in Udaipur's Hathipol police station, the police said.
According to police, a reward of Rs 1 lakh had been announced on Bhupendra Saran's arrest. However, Saran kept evading the police due to frequent changes in his location.
Last year in December, six people were arrested after the Rajasthan Police conducted a raid at Bhupendra Saran's girlfriend's house in Jaipur.
Rajasthan Police busted a fake degree racket and seized degrees and mark sheets from more than four dozen fake universities, said a statement by the Police Commissionerate, Jaipur.
The 2nd-grade teacher competitive examination 2022 for General Knowledge was cancelled after the paper was leaked. The exam was rescheduled for January 29.
