Hyderabad, April 3 (Hydnow): The Telangana Education department today suspended three officials including the Chief Superintendent, a departmental officer, and an invigilator for carrying mobile phones into the SSC Public Exams Centre and taking a photo of the question paper, and circulating it at the Tandoor No. 1 Center in Vikarabad district.
On the first day of the Class X exams, within a few minutes of the commencement of the exam, the invigilator allegedly used his mobile phone to take a photo of the first language question paper (Telugu) and circulated it in WhatsApp group, triggering reports of question paper leakage.
Senior officials from the Telangana Education department have denied allegations of question paper leak before the examination and said that necessary precautions were taken to conduct the SSC exams.
On receiving a complaint from the Education department, local police swung into action and took the invigilator into custody, and booked a case. Further police and departmental investigation is underway.
Senior officials from the department said that except for the police officers who are posted at the examination center, nobody else is allowed to carry mobile phones. (Hydnow)
