A senior Kerala police official on Monday was sent out of the examination hall after being caught indulging in malpractice while writing the Master of Laws (LL.M) examination.
The official was later identified as T.J. Jose, Inspector General of Police of Thrissur range.
Confirming the incident to media, V.J. Peter, vice principal of the St. Paul's College, Kalamassery, said the incident will be intimated to the Mahatma Gandhi University.
Jose, however, told media that even though the examination was from 10.00 a.m. to 1 p.m, he left the examination hall around 11.30 a.m. "I have done nothing wrong and I will return to write the last examination tomorrow," he said.
The invigilator who caught Jose while indulging in malpractice was unaware that the person he was taking action against was a senior police official.
Director General of Police K.N. Balasubramanian said action would be taken against the erring official and Additional Director General of Police Shankar Reddy has been asked to prepare a report after conducting a probe.
