Umakant Sharma, Chess Cheater
"In the seventh round, Umakanth was found carrying a bluetooth device, hidden under his woollen cap"
"Pending further enquiry, Umakant's mobile phone and bluetooth headset were confiscated."
"Umakant has been among those under suspicion of using unfair means to gain the desired results. Umakant began the year at a modest 1933 and, after playing just 64 games, reached a whopping 2484 on October 1. During this period, Umakant won a few tournaments ahead of several illustrious players."

You'd like to think that cheating in chess wouldn't be widespread, but with modern technology, anything is possible. I even heard accusations of cheating at this year's Missouri Open. It's out of hand.
