Endoscopic cam used to copy paper in sealed packet in Chhattisgarh university
‘Paper compromised without breaking sealed cover’
RAIPUR: A leak of a BSc agriculture paper at Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV) in Chhattisgarh has raised serious concerns over exam security. The sealed envelope containing the question paper was allegedly copied using a miniature endoscopic camera, which was inserted into the envelope after creating a small incision.
The camera scanned the contents of the sealed packet, allowing the taped material to be accessed without any visible damage to the packet. Once scanned, the paper was converted into images and distributed through WhatsApp, ahead of the Entomology examination. Six individuals, including a professor from a private college in Durg and five students, have been arrested in connection with the leak.
The chief minister has directed a strict and impartial probe, with a five-member committee set up to investigate the incident. The police are examining all digital trails and have identified the alleged source of the leak within 36 hours. The probe is now extending to other agriculture papers, including the earlier Plant Pathology exam.
