Originally Published 1 year ago — by NDTV
The Lok Sabha has passed an 'anti-cheating' bill aimed at preventing fraudulent practices, such as leaking of exam papers, in government recruitment exams. The bill, which will now be presented to the Rajya Sabha and then to the President for assent, imposes strict penalties, including up to 10 years in jail and a fine of Rs 1 crore, for those involved in paper leaks or tampering with answer sheets. The bill covers various offences related to cheating in competitive exams and empowers police to take action without a warrant, while also holding service providers accountable for not reporting possible offences.
