Madhyamik: Purported Bengali question paper images viral,

Purported images of the Bengali question paper started making rounds on WhatsApp soon after the first language examination of the class 10 state boards began on Tuesday, even as the authorities claimed there was no report of any leak.

The puported images of two pages, which went viral shortly after the exams began in 2,839 centres across the state at 12 pm, matched with the original question paper, the headmaster of a state-run school in the city told PTI.

"It appears that some mischief-makers went inside the exam centre with mobile phones and stealthily clicked two pages in two parts just after the exam began. But this is not a question paper leak as the exams had already begun," the senior teacher, who is also involved in conducting the Madhyamik exams, said.

A miffed West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) president Kalyanmoy Ganguly told PTI, "We don't have any such update. This is fake news. The exams were conducted smoothly in all the centres on the first day."
