“The official present at the exam centre immediately called me and after cross verifying we found that questions in the snapshot were the same as the one in the exam,” he said.
“We immediately called the local police and handed the examinee over to them. We also informed matter to the board officials and district collector about the incident and now the board will take decision on the matter.”
