A 25-year-old IAS aspirant who sat for an examination for selection of Assistant Central Intelligence Officer in place of his friend for a fee of Rs.1 lakh has been arrested, police said Monday.

"Rohit Deshwal, who hails from Sonepat in Haryana, was arrested for appearing at the exam for selection of Intelligence Bureau officer for his friend Sunil Kumar, who has also been arrested," said a senior police officer.

The inspector at a government school where the examination was conducted on Sunday got suspicious after matching Rohit Deshwal's face with the picture on the admit card.

The school informed police and subsequently Deshwal was arrested. "Deshwal told us that he was a computer science post-graduate and was preparing for the civil services examinations. At a coaching institute in Kingsway Camp in North Delhi, Deshwal met Sunil Kumar a month ago," said the officer.

Police said that Sunil Kumar convinced him to appear for the exam for a fee of Rs.1 lakh.
