Overview
- The Kolhapur divisional board of MSBSHSE has dispatched an inquiry team to Uttareshwar High School in Vidani, Phaltan, to collect evidence including CCTV footage.
- A preliminary district report states the Class 6 girls were marking cross lines on unused pages rather than evaluating answers.
- Board chair Rajesh Kshirsagar said giving answer sheets to unauthorised persons violates rules and warned of strict action if breaches are confirmed.
- The video allegedly shows the girls beside Marathi teacher Vaibhav Shende handling Class 10 papers, and officials will verify their grade level and the teacher’s evaluation authorization.
- Officials said the team would file a priority report the same day, as SSC examinations continue with concurrent answer-sheet evaluation under standard timelines.
