History paper allegedly leaked in West Bengal board Madhyamik exams, Education Minister denies reports

Chatterjee had discounted reports of any question paper leak on first two days of examinations. “If someone clicks a photo half an hour after writing the paper, can that be termed as question leak? Question leak happens when it comes out before the commencement of the examination,” he had told a press meet on Wednesday.

He had said some people were trying to malign the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBSEB) that conducts the Madhyamik examination. The WBBSEB had lodged a complaint with Bidhannagar Police Cyber Crime cell against unknown persons for sharing purported images of Bengali question paper, WBSEB president Kalyanmoy Ganguly had said.

On Friday’s incident, Ganguly said, “If anyone has got any such image, please share the sender’s number with us.” A total of 10,66,000 students are appearing in the class 10 school leaving examination.

Chatterjee said, “I have continuously been in touch with district magistrates and superintendents of police during the day. There is no question paper leak. These are rumours being spread deliberately.”
