"There's No Truth": BPSC Chairman Refutes Paper Leak Allegations Amid Protests

BPSC Prelims Exam 2024: Candidates at the Bapu Pariksha Bhavan alleged irregularities and malpractice during the exam, with several claiming they did not receive the question papers on time.


BPSC Prelims Exam 2024: Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) Chairman, Parmar Ravi Manubhai, on Friday refuted claims of a paper leak during the preliminary Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) 2024 held at Bapu Pariksha Bhavan in Patna. The exam, which took place across 912 centres in the state, saw over 4 lakh candidates participating, and while reports from most areas were calm, Patna witnessed significant unrest at one examination centre.

Candidates at the Bapu Pariksha Bhavan alleged irregularities and malpractice during the exam, with several claiming they did not receive the question papers on time. Amid the chaos, a video surfaced showing Patna's District Magistrate (DM), Dr Chandrashekhar Singh, slapping a protesting candidate outside the centre, which quickly went viral on social media. In the video, the DM is seen striking the student while telling the crowd to disperse.

The incident has sparked widespread debate on social media, with many questioning the use of force in handling the situation. 

One online comment reacting to the incident posted by news agency PTI stated, "No one has the right to slap anybody, but a king is always a king, he has unlimited power. Nowadays, people have become arrogant after gaining power."

Addressing the concerns raised by candidates, the BPSC chairman said that there had been no paper leak. He confirmed that the protest began only after the students were seated in the examination hall and were not in contact with the outside world. "We received information around 12.30pm about some students creating a disturbance in the exam, but by then, all students had already entered the exam hall and had no access to any external information," he told the media.

Mr Manubhai added that some candidates at the Patna centre had raised concerns about changes in the question pattern, but these were addressed, and no further complaints were received until after the first hour of the exam. "The examination was monitored using high-tech methods, and there is no truth to the allegations of a paper leak," he asserted.

Dr Chandrashekhar Singh, the DM of Patna, explained that the disruption at the Bapu Pariksha Bhavan was caused by a delay in distributing the question papers. Candidates at the centre, located in Kumhrar, received their papers 15 minutes late but were not granted additional time to compensate for the delay. The issue was reportedly due to a failure in the management of the centre. Despite efforts to calm the candidates, when the protests continued, police and administrative officials had to step in to restore order.

Team India handed Pakistan their biggest defeat in the IND-PAK fixtures as the Men in Blue opened their account with a 228-run win in the Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours.

Virat Kohli  and  KL Rahul  started watchfully from India's overnight score of 147 following quickfire fifties from skipper  Rohit Sharma  and  Shubman Gill  on Day 1.
