A former boyfriend in Maharashtra admitted leaking an examination paper to help his girlfriend pass, and later lodged a police complaint after their breakup.
Mumbai police received a formal complaint on Tuesday from a young man who confessed to leaking an examination paper to his then‑girlfriend in Maharashtra. The leak was intended to enable her to clear the test, according to the complainant's statement.
Investigators said the suspect approached the girl with the stolen paper and later, after the relationship ended, he turned himself in and reported the wrongdoing. The police have opened a case under the state's cheating and paper‑leakage statutes.
Authorities are now tracing the source of the leaked material and have warned educational institutions about tightening security measures. The complainant faces potential charges for facilitating academic fraud, despite his cooperation with the investigation.
