Local authorities inNagpur, Maharashtraare investigating a suspected leak of theClass 12 Chemistry board examination paperafter copies of the question paper were allegedly shared on WhatsApp before the exam began onFebruary 18, 2026. The potential malpractice was uncovered at a high school examination centre when invigilators grew suspicious of a female student’s frequent trips to the washroom, prompting a search that led to the seizure of her mobile phone.

Analysis of the device revealed images of the Chemistry question paper and discussions of potential answers in WhatsApp groupsprior to the official startof the exam, prompting police action and the registration of a formal case atSadar police station. Investigators are now questioning students linked to the groups to trace the origin of the leak and determine how the paper was accessed and disseminated.

Preliminary findings suggest that a person possibly connected to a private coaching centre may have shared the paper in exchange for money, a pattern similar to other past exam malpractice cases in the state. The incident has raised serious concerns about the integrity of the examination process and has sparked calls to strengthen security protocols across board exam centres.

Police and the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) are cooperating closely on the probe, and further action, including possible arrests, is expected as the investigation unfolds. Students and parents are awaiting official updates while the board assesses whether any further steps — including re-examination or other remedial measures — will be required.
