On Monday alone, four imposters, two invigilators and 21 guardians were arrested and handed over to Dhanusha District Police Office. Of the total arrests made in Dhanusha, 39 face public offence charges. Similar charges have been filed against 53 in Sarlahi and against 10 in Mahottari.[break]
Lawmaker sits for exam
Meanwhile, CPN-UML lawmaker Kiran Yadav, whose daughter appeared in place of her Sunday, herself sat for the exams on Monday. Yadav´s daughter Poonam was arrested from Barhathawa Higher Secondary School center in Sarlahi but released immediately as the district administration tried to hush up the matter.
The examination coordination committee continues to deny that Yadav´s daughter was arrested for appearing in the exams in her mother´s stead. Chief District Officer Shambhu Ghimire, who is chairman of the committee, said Yadav has signed in the attendance register and her absence on Sunday cannot be deduced as appearance of someone else in the exams.
Seven combatants expelled
Our Chitwan correspondent Chandani Hamal reported that seven former combatants of Shaktikhor Third Division were expelled from the exams on Sunday after imposters were found to have been taking exams for them. The incident happened at the Jutpani exam center located inside Prithvi Higher Secondary School.
The combatants will not be allowed to sit for the remaining papers.
