The Odisha Teacher Eligibility Test (OTET) was cancelled due to a leaked handwritten question paper that went viral on social media, affecting nearly 75,000 candidates. (Representative photo) Nihar Ranjan Mohanty, vice-president of the Board of Secondary Education (BSE), was involved in setting the OTET question papers and was coordinating with a Bhopal-based firm that printed the papers, state crime investigation department (CID) chief Vinaytosh Mishra said. 'But before the question papers went for printing, the firm had sent a password-protected copy of the paper to Mohanty for proofreading. Mohanty was supposed to download and delete the file after proofreading. However, he allowed Jitan Moharana, a data entry operator working in the office of the controller of examinations, to access his laptop who leaked the papers,' Mishra said. So far, seven others, including a teacher, have been arrested in connection with the paper leak. The CID found the proofread copy on Mohanty's laptop, which led to his interrogation. Over 100 telephone calls between Mohanty and Moharana over the past three months, outside of office hours, were found in the call logs. Mohanty, who has been overseeing examinations for the past 11 years, was arrested based on evidence collected. Moharana and five others were arrested on July 30, following which a teacher was nabbed. Moharana had access to the vice-president's laptop and obtained the question paper using a pen drive. He then shared it with the working president of the State Ex-cadre Teachers' Association and its Koraput unit head, who sold the paper to three brokers for ₹2.5 lakh. The BSE conducts final examinations for various state-sponsored courses, including Class X board exams, OTET, Odisha Secondary School Teacher Eligibility Test (OSSTET), Teachers' Certificate (CT) examination, Certificate Course in Physical Education Examination (CPEd), and the Prathama and Madhyama examinations.

Gurgaon horror: Wife plots husband's murder with lover, 3 others; all arrested
Representative Image NEW DELHI: Police in Gurugram have arrested five people, including a woman and her neighbour, for allegedly murdering her husband and concealing his body. The victim, Vikram (37), was a resident of Dundahera village and originally hailed from Nawada in Bihar. His wife, Soni Devi (35), was reportedly in a relationship with the main accused, her neighbour Ravindra (34). According to police, during questioning, Vikram's wife Soni Devi confessed that she and the main accused, her neighbour Ravinder (34), conspired to kill her husband after her daughter discovered an obscene video of them on Ravinder's phone and informed Vikram. Investigators said the duo researched murder methods online before executing the plan. Soni Devi had initially filed a missing complaint for her husband at Udyog Vihar police station on July 28. She filed another complaint on July 31 alleging that Ravindra had raped her in March while her husband was away for work. She claimed that Ravindra had made a video of the incident and threatened that if she told anyone about it, he would make the clip public. Following the initial investigation, police arrested Ravindra, who allegedly confessed to murdering Vikram.

All three were remanded to five days' police custody on Saturday. Additionally, Ravindra's uncle, Santarpal (60), was arrested the same day for helping bury Vikram's body. He, too, was sent to five days' custody on Sunday. Soni Devi, meanwhile, has been sent to judicial remand. It was during interrogation when Ravindra claimed that he and the woman had been in a relationship, according to a police spokesperson. During questioning, Ravindra told police that on July 26, he and his accomplices forcibly pulled Vikram into a car while he was returning home from work. They strangled him with a rope and later buried his body near Mohammadpur Jharsa village. Based on Ravindra's disclosure, the body was recovered from the burial site. Police said Soni Devi admitted to having been in a relationship with Ravindra for about a year. She revealed that Ravindra had recorded an obscene video of them, which her daughter accidentally found on his phone and later informed Vikram. Police said both Ravindra and Soni Devi had actively researched online to plan the murder. "Both the accused, Ravindra and Soni Devi, watched various methods on the Internet and YouTube to kill Vikram and dispose of the body after the murder," said a police spokesperson. As part of the plan, Ravindra approached his uncle, Santarpal, who looks after cattle in Mohammadpur Jharsa village."Ravindra, along with his friends, then killed Vikram and his uncle helped him to bury the body in a pit which was already dug by Santarpal on Ravindra's instructions," the official added. Investigators also confirmed that Soni Devi remained in regular contact with Ravindra by phone during this entire episode. 'In order to mislead the police, she first filed a missing report of her husband on July 28, while the woman knew that her husband had been murdered on July 26 and his body had been buried. We are questioning the accused,' the spokesperson said.
