KSLU exam paper leak, vigilance squad member files complaint

Bengaluru: A member of the vigilance squad for Karnataka State Law University (KSLU) exams has filed a police complaint alleging a leak of question papers by unidentified people.

Vishwanatha KN, who has been appointed as the Chairman and member of Vigilance Squad-2, filed a complaint on January 30, following the leak of questions from the contract-1 paper on social media even before the commencement of the exam on January 23. 

According to the FIR, one of the squad members, Ravindra Rajpoot, forwarded the leaked questions to Vishwanatha to verify if they matched the ones on the actual paper. On verifying, it was found that the questions were exactly the same, sparking doubts about the leak of the paper.

After much deliberation, Vishwanatha filed a complaint with the Bengaluru cybercrime police station on January 30.

A well-placed Central Crime Branch (CCB) source confirmed to DH that one person had been arrested in the case but didn’t reveal the name citing ongoing investigations.
