Rahul Gandhi demanded a probe and SIT into the CBSE On-Screen Marking controversy, alleging the board awarded the contract to COEMPT despite its links to Telangana-based Globarena, accused in earlier exam scandals. Gandhi questioned the Centre over background checks and claimed students and parents were traumatised by discrepancies in Class 12 results, while CBSE said complaints were prioritised.

New Delhi: Amid the row over the CBSE OSM system, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday demanded an independent judicial probe as well as a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to unearth the truth behind the "entire scam", and asked why a firm that had a murky past in Telangana handed the contract by the Board.

Stepping up his attack on the Centre over the issue, Gandhi said CBSE students and their parents are traumatised but Prime Minister Narendra Modi "has nothing to say".

In a video put out on his social media accounts, Gandhi said unbelievable details are emerging about the Class 12 CBSE exam.

"COEMPT, the company that did the On-Screen Marking (OSM) for your exam, was actually called Globarena. Globarena has carried out this scam twice before in Telangana, once in the board exam in Telangana in 2019 and after that again in Telangana in 2023. The same OSM-based errors were responsible for the death by suicide of 23 young Indians in Telangana," the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said.
