Mumbai University's alleged TYBCom Semester VI paper leak was raised in the Maharashtra Legislative Council, prompting demands for a thorough probe. While the government has ordered an inquiry and assured strict action, ABVP has sought an SIT investigation and criminal proceedings against all involved. The controversy has raised concerns over exam integrity and student welfare.

Mumbai: The alleged leak of question papers for Mumbai University's Third Year Bachelor of Commerce (TYBCom) Semester VI examinations echoed in the Maharashtra Legislative Council during the ongoing Monsoon Session, with legislators, student representatives and university senate members seeking a thorough investigation into the matter.

The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Mumbai Metropolitan Unit, on Thursday renewed its demand for a fair, transparent and comprehensive probe into the controversy, while welcoming the state government's decision to initiate an inquiry.

The issue came to the forefront after allegations surfaced that question papers of three TYBCom subjects had been circulated before the examinations. According to reports, the university's internal inquiry found evidence suggesting that examination papers may have been photographed and shared before the exams were conducted. A contractual employee attached to the examination section was subsequently suspended, while further investigations were initiated to determine the extent of the breach.

Raising the matter in the Legislative Council, members questioned whether all individuals involved in the alleged leak were being identified and held accountable. Concerns were also expressed over reports that attempts may have been made to shield certain officials connected to the case.
