Mumbai varsity paper on Facebook a day before exam

MUMBAI, INDIA: It’s not even a week since Facebook came under Mumbai Police scanner following last Sunday’s rave party. And now, the world’s fastest networking site has been mired in a paper leak controversy of Mumbai University.

The physics paper of the first year engineering stream was scanned and uploaded on Facebook at 2 am before the examination day on Wednesday. However, the Mumbai University officials were unaware of it and they went ahead with the exam schedule.

The scanned and uploaded images of Physics paper appeared on a Facebook group called SceletonZZZ. It’s an engineering student group, where some users had shared those images on the networking site. Moreover, the images of leaked paper were sent via e-mails, according to reports on Thursday.

According to Subhash Deo, director — Examination, the incident was very shocking as such a thing has not happened before and university’s cyber team will be asked to investigate the incident.

The university was conducting a high-level inquiry into the leak and has filed a complaint, according to Naresh Chandra, Pro-vice Chancellor but so far the Mumbai City’s Cyber Cell hasn’t received any complaint.

“If the university lodges a complaint, we will take up the matter seriously,” Himanshu Roy, Joint Commissioner of Police, said.
