Seven students interrogated by Assam Police over alleged Class 10 Geography paper leak
Assam police are investigating seven students in connection with the alleged leak of the Class 10 state board’s Geography paper. The students are all ‘admins’ of a WhatsApp group through which the purported first page of the Geography question paper was circulated on Saturday. Sivasagar SP Subhrajyoti Borah told PTI that they had received a request from their Nagaon counterparts for calling these students for questioning. At least 32 people, including several students, have already been apprehended for their alleged involvement in the leak of the General Science and Assamese papers.
Two teachers, Pranab Dutta and Kumud Rajkhowa, have been identified as the masterminds in the leak of the two question papers last week, and were arrested in Lakhimpur. The duo was brought to the CID headquarters in Guwahati on Saturday and is currently in the custody of the investigating agency.
The Assam government has dismissed reports of the Geography paper leak, claiming attempts were made to “disrupt the entire environment” after purported photographs of the Geography paper went viral on social media. However, an examinee was held from Nagaon district after the purported first page of the Geography question paper was found with him.
The police are currently investigating the matter, and two students have stayed overnight at the children’s room in the police station, while the rest have been called for further questioning. The Nagaon Police team has also reached Sivasagar for the investigation.
