In a major crackdown, Malleswaram Police have arrested a 10-member gang, including a contractual employee of the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), for their involvement in a engineering seat-blocking scam.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Sriharsha (42), Prakash S.R. (42), Puneeth S.L. (27), Shashikumar S.K. (34), Purushotham (24), Avinash B.S. (36), Tilak G. (60), Ravishankar S.C.
