Raipur Police have arrested six individuals, including a professor, in connection with the leak of a B.Sc. Agriculture Entomology exam paper in Chhattisgarh. The accused professor, 38-year-old Yogesh Sonkesariya, is from Bharti Agriculture College in Durg. He is alleged to have taken the question papers from Jora Agricultural College on August 17 while submitting answer sheets.
Instead of returning the Entomology paper to his college, Sonkesariya allegedly took it home to view and copy around 15 questions using an endoscopic camera. He then sold the paper to three students for ₹11,000, who subsequently shared it with four others. The second-year B.Sc. Agriculture Entomology exam was subsequently canceled on August 20 due to concerns about leaked questions.
The university has announced a re-examination. Within 36 hours of receiving a complaint, six suspects were arrested by the police, who traced them using digital evidence. They seized cash, mobile phones, a recording device, and other items. The university subsequently altered its exam security measures, including sending question papers via email with OTP access. An FIR has been registered, and police are searching for two additional suspects who have fled.
