Patna, July 24 (HS). The Nitish Kumar-led NDA government of Bihar on Wednesday introduced the anti-paper leak law in the monsoon session of the assembly with the aim of preventing paper leaks and examination fraud, which was passed by voice vote. During this, the opposition kept creating a ruckus and walked out of the house.

Amid the uproar of the opposition, Minister-in-charge Vijay Chaudhary introduced the Bihar Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Bill-2024 on behalf of the state government in the Bihar Legislative Assembly. Meanwhile, the opposition walked out. After this, the bill was passed on the basis of majority in the House. It has been provided in the new law that those involved in paper leak or any activity related to it will be guilty under this law. All crimes under this law will be cognizable and non-bailable. Now the paper leak will also be investigated by DSP rank officers. Under the new law, a person found guilty of leaking the examination paper can be imprisoned for up to 10 years and fined up to one crore. This law is comprehensive, which applies to all concerned parties including students, teachers and others.

While discussing the anti-paper leak bill in the House, the Bihar government said that this law has been made to prevent irregularities in the examination. The central government has also made rules to stop the rigging in the NEET exam, which has been implemented across the country, but the opposition members walked out of the House. Coming out of the House, RJD MLA Rekha Kumari fiercely attacked the Nitish government. She said about CM Nitish Kumar that he is anti-women. She has definitely become an MLA but she has not got the rights till now.
