Patna, Feb 19 (NationPress) Gaya District Magistrate (DM) Tyagarajan SM in Bihar on Wednesday refuted the claims made by prominent educationist Faisal Khan, also known as Khan Sir, about alleged irregularities in the BPSC examination, labeling his comments as 'false' and 'unfounded'.
The Gaya DM emphasized that the accusations regarding lost or sold question papers at a junk shop are entirely groundless.
He highlighted that the exam took place on December 13, 2024, and questions are arising only after two months, suggesting possible ulterior motives behind the claims.
“The examinations were conducted with complete transparency and in accordance with BPSC guidelines,” Tyagarajan asserted.
When queried about the possibility of filing an FIR against Khan Sir, the DM mentioned that the matter falls under the jurisdiction of BPSC and that appropriate actions would be taken based on further instructions.
The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has already rejected all allegations, asserting that coaching institutes are misleading candidates.
Despite protests from aspirants, BPSC has released the schedule for the Mains examination, dismissing the calls for a re-examination.
The controversy surrounding the BPSC 70th Prelims Exam is intensifying, with candidates protesting and Khan Sir alleging significant irregularities in the examination process.
The main demand from the candidates is for a re-examination, citing concerns about fairness and transparency. Khan Sir alleged that the exam papers were not properly secured in the treasury of Gaya and Nawada, which raises concerns over potential tampering.
He has called for an official investigation into the management of these question papers.
“The same set of question papers was utilized in the January 4 re-exam, conducted across 22 locations. This led to a pass percentage of 19 percent in the January 4 re-exam, which is considerably higher than the 6 percent pass rate recorded in the original December 13 exam,” Khan Sir previously claimed.
Candidates argue that this discrepancy could indicate possible misconduct or paper leaks. The commission insists that the exam was conducted fairly and that coaching institutes are misleading students.
The commission is expected to pursue further legal or administrative measures against those disseminating alleged misinformation.
The situation remains tense, with students, BPSC officials, and political figures closely monitoring the developments.
