In Nizamabad district of Telangana, the question paper came out within just ten minutes of the commencement of class 10th examination. There is information about question papers of both Hindi and Telugu subjects being leaked. After this serious question was raised on the quality of the examination, the Education Department took immediate action and suspended 9 teachers and filed a police case against 4 teachers.
Investigation revealed that question papers were taken out from Aluru, Bodhan and Mendora examination centres. Someone inside the examination hall took a picture of the question paper using a mobile phone and made it viral in WhatsApp groups. Within no time this question paper reached the phones of students across the district and all this happened within just 10 minutes of the commencement of the examination.
Telangana Education Department started investigation
The education department and the police jointly started the investigation. In the initial investigation, the role of those teachers and coordinators who were responsible for monitoring the examination hall was found suspicious. Negligence and active collusion – both are being investigated. Police have started scanning mobile phones and digital evidence. Intensive interrogation of the four teachers against whom the case has been registered is going on.

For the students who worked hard for months, this news is no less than a deception. This question raised on the fairness of the examination also affects the credibility of the entire education system. The Education Department has clarified that the examinations will continue as per the schedule. Identification of the culprits and strict action will be ensured until the investigation is completed.
