The sanctity of the examination systems in the country has once again been seriously tarnished. Amidst the news of paper leaks coming one after the other, now a sensational case of paper leak of another major examination has come to light. The most surprising and shameful thing is that the mastermind of this entire black business has turned out to be not an outside copying mafia, but a college professor who imparts education to the students. Just before the commencement of the examination, the accused professor, disregarding all confidentiality rules, indiscriminately shared the questions of the question paper on WhatsApp to some selected groups and students. After this revelation, there has been a stir in the education department and administrative staff.
Questions leaked from exam center and created panic on WhatsApp
According to initial information received from local investigating agencies and police, this entire incident took place just a few hours before the commencement of the examination. The duty of the accused professor was to maintain the confidentiality of the examination paper and to deliver it to the safe centre. But misusing his position, the professor took pictures of question papers from the strong room or sealed packets and made them viral on the social media platform WhatsApp. When the questions were found matching on the mobile phones of some students during the commencement of the examination, the flying squad and local observers immediately informed the police. After technical input and investigation of mobile chat history, the professor’s involvement directly came to light and he was caught red-handed.
Police action and strict legal provisions against the accused professor
As soon as the case was registered, the local police and cyber cell team immediately laid a trap. The mobile phone of the accused professor has been seized, in which many suspicious WhatsApp chats, digital evidence of transactions and bank account details have been recovered. Investigating officers say that not only this professor is involved in this racket, but there is a strong possibility that it may also be linked to some coaching operators and middlemen. The administration has made it clear that the accused will be prosecuted under the new strict anti-paper leak law and serious sections of the Information Technology Act (IT Act), which carries a provision of heavy fine as well as punishment up to life imprisonment.
Crisis looms over the future of lakhs of students, fear of cancellation of exams
This latest paper leak scandal has once again put the entire examination system in the dock. Lakhs of honest students who had prepared for this exam day and night are now completely shocked and angry. Local student organizations have started violent protests against this rigging and have demanded immediate cancellation of the examination and conducting it afresh in a transparent manner. However, the examination board and administrative officials say that they are still assessing the scale of the leak, only after which a final and official decision will be taken regarding the cancellation of the examination or the upcoming dates.
