He said a voters’ identity card was found from Devendra in which his photograph was superimposed on the photograph of Ashish. Two mixed photographs, OMR sheet and two question booklets were also seized from Devendra, Kumar said.

A native of Machhlishehar, Devendra informed STF team that he lived in a rented room in Madhwapur area and was pursuing MEd. Kumar said one TN Patel, who often used to visit Devendra’s lodge, offered him 25,000 for appearing as a solver in CTET examination.
