Two persons were arrested after the Pre-University (PU) Physics paper was allegedly 'leaked' in Karnataka's Vijayapura district. The incident took place in Santeshwara PU college in Indi taluk, while the exam was ongoing. However, the Department of Pre-University Education, which is the state board for +2 level examinations and syllabus, declared that it was not a genuine paper leak as it took place after the exam had already commenced. Thus, the Physics paper is unlikely to be reheld. The incident took place when a student, Hiremath, was writing the Physics exam. His classmate Sagar jumped a compound wall, where there was no security, to reach the exam hall. There, Sagar asked Hiremath to hold up the paper to take pictures, which he compiled with. These images quickly surfaced on social media within an hour of the exam commencing, The Hindu reported. The PU exams began on March 4. More than 4.75 lakh students are writing the exam. The Department has directed the college to suspend the supervisor of examinations due to the lapse in security.
