Overview
- An FIR filed in Pune’s Shivajinagar police station alleged Class 10 Mathematics Part‑1 and Part‑2 papers were shared on a Telegram channel before the March 6 and March 9 exams.
- Police blocked the Telegram links, registered offences under exam-malpractice and IT laws, and dispatched teams for a technical investigation, officials said.
- The board’s preliminary verification found no prima facie proof that any paper was available before the exams and said the channel likely sought payments by promising leaks.
- In a test, board officials paid Rs 600 to the purported administrator for Science‑1 but received nothing before the exam, and they noted the Maths Part‑2 PDF appeared only after the March 9 paper ended.
- While the FIR claims the shared files matched official papers, the board reports no confirmed complaints of pre-exam circulation and says remedial steps, including a possible re-exam, will depend on probe findings.
