So, what he did? How did he leak exam paper on TikTok and social media?

- Exam starts
- The boy clicked three pages of the question paper while sitting inside the classroom
- Edited it on the TikTok app
- Added Bollywood music to the video
- Circulated it on social media
- The purported video, which shows some multiple choice and essay-type questions, started making rounds within an hour of the beginning of the examinations at 12 pm.
- The incident created a furore among parents and examinees, who questioned the security of examination centres where neither students nor the teachers are being allowed to carry any electronic gadgets.

District education department sources said that the accused's examination has been cancelled and he has been expelled.

He will be produced before the district Juvenile Justice Board on Thursday.

An estimated 10,15,888 candidates are appearing for the Madhyamik examinations this year and of them, 5,76,009 are girls.

Last year as well, purported images of Bengali, English, History, Geography and Mathematics question papers were shared on social media during the exams but both the board and education minister Partha Chatterjee rubbished those, saying there was no leak.
