Thirty people, including senior officials, were on Thursday suspended after Class 12 Chemistry paper leaked for the second time in 10 days. The re-examination is likely to be held on April 12.
This comes after several students and their parents launched protests across Karnataka after class 12 Chemistry papers were leaked, forcing the board to postpone the pre-university course examination for the second time in last 10 days.
Earlier, the Chemistry exam was postponed as the papers were leaked and the Board found out about it only after the exams were conducted on March 21.
Over 1.4 lakh students have been affected with the development. The students appearing for the common entrance test have been especially affected as their regular examinations are still incomplete.
Hitting out at the government for its failure to conduct a foolproof examination, Karnataka BJP leader and Union Minister Ananthkumar said that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah must take the blame and take the strictest action against the culprits.
State BJP president and MP Prahlad Joshi demanded the dismissal of Primary and Secondary education minister Kimmane Ratnakar immediately. He said that Siddaramaiah must make a statement.
Reacting to the comments Siddaramaiah said, "I came to know that the Chemistry question paper has been leaked. It has happened for the second time. We will take necessary action. The BJP is politicising it."
