Jail up to 10 years, Rs 10-cr fine for exam leak: Nod for tough new law
The Union Cabinet approved a draft Bill imposing up to 10 years of imprisonment and fines up to ₹10 crore for those involved in exam paper leaks. This decision follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement of fast-track courts and a five-month timeline for investigation and trial of such cases. The amendment to The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, aims to strengthen legal measures against exam-related fraud.
