Members of the HSC Divisional Board of Ahmednagar under scanner
Meanwhile, members of the HSC Divisional Board of Ahmednagar are also under the scanner as it was their responsibility to arrange for the distribution of papers at exam centres. The board also ensures that runners who approach the centres with papers are not from the same college. For this particular paper, though, a runner from Matoshree Bhagubai Bhambre College came to collect the set. As per the Crime Branch, the paper was opened midway and photos were taken for circulation.
A senior Crime Branch officer said legal opinion is being sought and rules are being cross-checked to fix the role and responsibility of the HSC Divisional Board members. Meanwhile, the police are also searching for the absconding owner of the junior college.
