Following a tip-off that some people were duping students by selling fake question papers of the polytechnic entrance examination, a policeman posing as a decoy customer approached the two youths and arrested them in Govindnagar yesterday.
One of the arrested, Ankur, has completed B Tech from a private engineering college here and runs a coaching institute, while other, Himanshu Nandan, is preparing for medical entrance examinations.
The seized papers did not match with the original question paper of the polytechnic entrance examination held yesterday.
The two were selling the fake question papers for Rs 25,000 per paper, police said, adding investigations are on to nab the other people involved in the gang.
