The reports of a suspected question paper leak at Banskandi Nena Mia HS School in Cachar surfaced earlier in the day. The news emerged after the images of a question paper were shared online and went viral.

Hyder Hussain Majumdar, a teacher posted at the examination centre, has been incriminated in the alleged leak of the question paper in Cachar.

Notably, the high school examination (HSLC Exam 2024) in Assam started today. In order to ensure a smooth and controversy-free examination process, the concerned authorities have imposed stringent security measures.

Significantly, this news follows the introduction of a bill by the Assam government to combat exam-related malpractices, including cheating, during the current Budget session of the state assembly.

Meanwhile, earlier last year, the High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) Mathematics question papers were leaked in the Cachar district of Assam on March 6.

According to the sources, the paper went viral on the second day of the HSLC exam within the first 15 minutes of the mathematics exam.

A few images of the question paper also gained popularity on social media, and it was believed that the document was stolen from a Lakhipur test centre.
