--CB begins probe into paper leak case
BHUBANESWAR:
A day after the leak out of Plus II Physics question paper, it was the turn of
the next paper Chemistry to face the same fate. Due to the leak out of Chemistry
paper on Friday, the examination was cancelled. The Higher Education Minister
Badri Narayan Patra announced that the examination would be held on March 30.
The Minister directed the
director of Higher Education department to carry out an internal probe into the
matter. After accepting the recommendations of the Council of Higher Secondary
Education (CHSE), they have rescheduled the examination of the Physics paper on
March 25 and Chemistry paper for March 30, he added.
After a hot discussion in the Assembly
on Thursday, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had ordered a Crime Branch probe
into the Physics question paper leak case. The Crime Branch has started probing
into the matter. “A DSP rank officer is taking the lead of the team that would
investigate into the matter. The team is probing the case sincerely and seriously,”
said Crime Branch ADG Bijay Kumar Sharma.
Meanwhile, a four-member team of
Crime Branch led by DSP SK Patnaik reached the CHSE office for inquiry into
Physics paper leak case.
According to a senior official of
the CHSE, the areas like Bhawanipatna, Phulbani and nearby towns are coming
under scanner regarding the leak out of the paper. “We are yet to get the
concrete picture of paper leak,” he added.
Following the unfortunate
incident, the students became unhappy and worried over the serial leakage of
question paper. Though the district administrations and police had taken
security measures to keep the question papers in safe, it was very unfortunate
that someone has leaked it. It is said that the leakage of question paper for
two consecutive days is first in the history of the CHSE.
