Chhattisgarh Agriculture University Seeks Probe Into Fresh Paper Leak
A university in Chhattisgarh is checking whether one of its exam papers was leaked.
The paper was for a subject called Fundamentals of Genetics.
Students took the exam on August 19 at 28 agricultural colleges.
A newspaper reported that the questions and answers may have been available before the test.
The newspaper sent the university a PDF connected to the allegation.
A university committee examined envelopes that had held the papers.
It said several envelopes showed signs that someone may have tampered with them.
Police are now investigating the complaint.
Two other agriculture exams had already been cancelled after similar leak allegations.
