The police said they had received a tip-off that Vishal and Davinder were sending answer keys through a mobile application to some students appearing in railway recruitment exam (grade-4) held in four cities, including Delhi.

Sources said they were found in possession of four sets of leaked examination paper and had charged `2 lakh from 21 students to be benefited from their illegal act.
