February 13, 2017

Hassan, Feb 13: The Arkalgud police have arrested a D-group employee from a government college on the charge of leaking the question papers of the SSLC preparatory examinations. The accused allegedly began doing so two years ago to help her son clear the SSLC exam then. She has leaked question papers of the preparatory examination many times since then.

Following a complaint filed by the Block Education Officer (BEO) of Arkalgud, Savithramma, a D-group employee of the Government Junior College for Girls, was arrested on Saturday. She allegedly leaked the paper during the district-level SSLC preparatory examination last month. The accused, in her statement to the police, reportedly admitted to have committed the crime, and stated that she had done this often in the last two years.

G.S. Nagesh, the BEO, said that the district-level SSLC preparatory exam was conducted in January. The District Association of Principals and Headmasters prepare the question papers and circulate them. “During the exam, it came to light that someone was selling photocopies of the question papers. The police were the first to notice a lot of activity at photocopying shops around exam time,” he said.

Based on the information, the BEO filed a complaint on January 21. During the investigation, it was found that Savithramma allegedly took copies of the question papers from the vice-principal Srinivasa’s office and circulated them for money.

The police clarified that there was no information about her involvement in leaking question papers of examinations conducted by the Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board. The BEO has sought direction from the Deputy Director of Public Instruction for disciplinary action against the employee.
