Retired High Court judge to probe Assam HSLC question papers leak incident
The state Education minister said that a retired High Court judge will conduct the probe into the alleged papers leak of two subjects once the examinations are over.
The question papers of Social Science and Modern Indian Language (Assamese) subjects, examinations for which are due on February 24 and March 7 respectively, were allegedly distributed among the students in place of Mathematics in two examination centres on February 20.
Following the incident, SEBA has rescheduled the Social Science examination on March 11 next and announced that new question papers would be set for both subjects.
Meanwhile, the Assam Education Minister claimed that the question papers of the subjects were not distributed to any student or leaked, but SEBA has decided to hold examinations of these two subjects with new set of papers.
Himanta Biswa Sarma has also requested Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal to relieve him from the Education portfolio following the alleged papers leak incident.
