The exam coordinator became suspicious when a bunch of test takers took toilet breaks and were replaced by the impersonators, police said. The accused had allegedly appeared in the exam centre in place of genuine candidates at the Bell Institute centre in Mehli near Shimla on Sunday. Nine persons, including a woman, were arrested for allegedly posing as candidates and appearing in the examination for recruitment of clerks in State Bank of India, police said on Monday. The possibility of some inter-state racket being involved in this cannot be ruled out and investigation in under, ASP Bhajan Dev Negi said. They were produced in a local court and remanded in one-day police custody and manhunt has been launched to nab the original candidates, police said.
