A video going viral on social media (here, here, and here) shows a woman wearing a burqa who was caught using high-tech equipment to help a candidate cheat during a government job exam in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. The video is being shared with claims suggesting that the woman is Muslim. Let’s verify the claim made in the post in this article.
Claim: A Muslim woman was caught using high-tech equipment to help a candidate cheat during a government job exam in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh.
Fact: The incident occurred on 13 July 2025 during a government job exam in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. Two women, Anusurya and Anuradha, were caught using a hidden camera and a walkie-talkie to cheat. Sarkanda police confirmed that both are Hindu, not Muslim. An FIR has been registered, and the accused have been arrested. There is no communal angle to the case. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
To verify the claim, we conducted a Google keyword search, which led us to multiple media reports (here, here, and here) featuring the same video. According to these reports, the Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board held a recruitment exam on 13 July 2025, in Bilaspur, for 113 vacancies of Deputy Engineer (Civil and Electrical/Mechanical) in the Public Works Department. During the exam at the Government Ramdulare Boys Higher Secondary School in Sarkanda, a high-tech cheating case was uncovered. Police apprehended two sisters, Anusurya and Anuradha, in connection with the incident. As per officials, the candidate inside the exam hall used a hidden camera concealed in her undergarments to transmit images of the question paper to her sister outside, who then relayed answers via a walkie-talkie. Based on a complaint by the exam centre’s supervisor, P. Mandal, a formal case was filed in the Sarkanda police, Bilaspur, under relevant sections of the BNS, IT Act, and Chhattisgarh Examination Act.
We then contacted the Sarkanda police for further clarification. A station official confirmed that the examination incident took place on 13 July 2025 and that an FIR (0961/25) has been registered, and the accused have been arrested. He also confirmed that the individuals involved, sisters named Anusurya and Anuradha, are Hindu, not Muslim.
To sum up, the Bilaspur exam cheating incident on 13 July 2025 involved two Hindu sisters; there is no communal angle to the case.
