Actually, this entire matter is to the RN Inter College examination center of Moradabad. It is being told that when the students left their homes in the morning to take the examination, they took the help of Google Map for the route. But the location of this college was wrongly fed on Google Map. The result was that instead of taking students to the correct centre, the app took them to some other place. By the time students realized the technical glitch and headed to the actual exam centre, it was too late.

An aggrieved student standing outside the examination center cried and said that he had left on time with full preparation from his side.
