New Delhi: The Special Task Force (STF) of Uttar Pradesh Police has arrested several people for allegedly leaking UP TET exam papers. The exam has been canceled in Prayagraj, Mathura and Shamli this morning after papers were leaked through WhatsApp.

‘The guilty will not be spared’
On the cancellation of UP TET exam, UP Basic Education Minister Satish Dwivedi said that he has already instructed the police to register an FIR in the matter. He said that the culprits will not be spared.

The minister said that the investigation is being handed over to the UP STF to identify the culprits and take strict action against them. On the other hand, Uttar Pradesh’s ADG Law and Order Prashant Kumar has said that the entire matter is being investigated.
Opposition launched attack
On the other hand, the Samajwadi Party has attacked the BJP for the cancellation of the examination. Party spokesperson Anurag Bhadauria said that the paper gets leaked before every exam.
“Ever since the BJP government came to power, education mafia has come into existence. Paper gets leaked before every exam,” Bhadauria said.
