"As per the system, question papers are moved to nodal centres and saved there in police custody. It was dispatched to examination centres under strong police security. There is no way the question paper could leak as the packets were opened in the presence of board officials," Patra said. However, the BSE Board authorities confirmed that the Odia question paper has been distributed on social media. "The question paper was leaked after the start of the exam and the board will manage an inquiry into the matter," declared BSE president Jahan Ara Begum. "We had made all sorts of security systems. Mobile phones in the exam hall were completely prevented. Disciplinary action will surely be taken if the enquiry reveals that anyone has strayed from the instructions," she added.
