Summary:

Malda/Kolkata: A 16-year-old examinee was held on Wednesday in West Bengal's Malda district for allegedly making a TikTok video of the English question paper for class 10 state board exams and sharing it on social media, police said. The purported video, which shows some multiple choice and essay-type questions, started making rounds within an hour of the beginning of the examinations at 12 pm. A top West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) source, however, said that a very few questions in the purported video matched with the original English question paper. "The question paper in the video also did not carry the logo of the Board, which is embossed on the top," the source said. On Tuesday, images of two pages of the Bengali question paper went viral shortly after the exam began in 2,839 centres across the state at 12 pm..
