Chhattisgarh Agriculture Exam Cancelled After Paper Leak; Professor, Students Arrested
Chhattisgarh's Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya cancelled the BSc Agriculture second-year entomology exam on August 20 after the question paper leaked. Police arrested a professor and five students from Bharti Agriculture College in Durg within 36 hours. The professor allegedly used an endoscopic camera inserted through a tiny hole in the sealed envelope to copy questions, which were then sold and circulated among students. Investigations continue, and the university plans a re-examination.
