Himachal Pradesh Technical Education Minister Rajesh Dharmani called recurring exam paper leaks a “serious betrayal” of students, alleging organised networks and a money trail behind frauds. He said it was the fourth leak during the current government, criticised agency failures, and demanded strict action against coaching centres. He urged PM, Home Minister and Supreme Court to intervene.

Shimla: Himachal Pradesh Technical Education Minister Rajesh Dharmani has termed the recurring examination paper leaks a "serious betrayal" of students and demanded stricter action against those involved in examination frauds, including coaching centres, educational networks and organised rackets allegedly linked to paper leak cases.

Speaking to reporters in Shimla and later to ANI on Saturday, Dharmani said repeated paper leak incidents were destroying the future of hardworking and meritorious students who spend years preparing for competitive examinations at great financial and emotional cost.

"Children study for 15 to 16 hours a day, often sacrificing their health. Parents take loans, sell jewellery and spend their life savings on their children's education. When students appear for exams and later discover that the paper was leaked, it is one of the biggest injustices possible," Dharmani said.

The minister alleged that the latest paper leak case was exposed initially by students themselves and questioned the functioning of the enforcement agencies.
