A security check reveals a phone hidden in the slippers
The clip begins with a security guard checking a student’s flip-flops (Crocs) while he waits in line with the other candidates. At first, nothing seems out of the ordinary. But when the guard asks him to take off his other slippers, things take a surprising turn.
While inspecting the second shoe, the guard opens it to reveal a cell phone cleverly hidden inside. The device appears to have been carefully hidden inside the sole, clearly intended to avoid detection.
To clarify matters, the guard brings the slippers closer to the camera, revealing the phone inside them. People can be seen standing around watching the scene unfold as the examination continues.

One user wrote: “Aise doctorban ke fir mariz ke pet m chura wagerah chod dete h.”
Another said: “Think about it! If students who cheat like this are going to treat patients at AIIMS, only God can tell how they will do it?”
“Tomorrow, if he becomes a doctor, instead of saving patients’ lives, he will put them in danger, brother! He is cheating today, what will he do tomorrow? Disqualify this student immediately. Should there be stricter measures against cheating in exams like AIIMS? What do you think?” someone commented.
