The authorities in the Indore district of Madhya Pradesh dismissed rumors suggesting the leakage of the Class 10 board examination’s Hindi paper on social media shortly before Monday’s exam. The administration warned of legal action against those disseminating false information about the exam paper.
Manglesh Kumar Vyas, the district education officer (DEO) declared that the administration’s investigation found the claims of the Class 10 Hindi paper being leaked on social media were fake.
