“Commissioner Public Education Abhay Verma suspended on the recommendation of the Board of Secondary Education,” the tweet added.
The board issued an official notice for the same, which listed the names and departments of the officials who have been allegedly involved in malpractices in the board exams.
“Board exams have started from march 1, 2023 and there appears to be gross negligence in maintaining the credibility of the examination by the following center heads and assistant center heads appointed for conducting the examination,” the notice stated.
Madhya Pradesh is not the only state which has been battling with paper leak rumours and allegations. Even the Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu today announced that the board exam for Class 10 Modern Indian Language subjects will now be conducted on April 1, as the MIL exam was leaked a little before the exam date. The same had happened in the General Science subject exam.
Similarly, a private college in Maharashtra allegedly leaked the HSC Mathematics paper and also compromised the Chemistry and Physics question papers. While five persons have been arrested so far in the case, the owner of the college is absconding.
