Haryana board exam cheating scandal: 34 arrested for cheating in love

In Nuh, Haryana 34 people were arrested for impersonating real examinees in class 10 Haryana board exams. The cheaters were motivated by various reasons. Some cheated to establish their love, while others did it for the sake of a relationship, and some for their financial requirement.

But the largest motive for the cheating was personal relationship, in which a few of them consented to appear in the exam for their girlfriend's brother to determine if they indeed loved him or not. Out of the 34 arrested men, six of them were underage.

This occurrence was at Mount Aravali Public School, Nuh, where the police detained 34 people, of whom six were minors, upon receiving news about the cheating.

About 2,93,000 students are appearing in the Haryana board exams at the state level. The class 10 English paper was held on Monday, which was between 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm, where 79 students were caught cheating during the exam from various regions of the state.

The police were summoned to certain centers to manage the issue. Notwithstanding heavy security measures, involving police and observation teams, these malpractices are documented every year. The class 12 English and Maths paper was previously leaked on February 28. After the event, 32 officials were put on suspension, including four DSPs and 25 police officials.

Mount Aravalli School is among the centres where the state board exam is held. On Monday, almost 200 students were taking the board exam.

Security teams have been deployed at some of the centres to avoid such incidents of cheating. Harsh measures will be taken by the officials for any such breach.
