On Wednesday, the Haryana board cancelled the Class 12 Hindi exam being held at Bhawad exam centre in Sonepat because people were throwing answer chits inside the centre.
Board chairman VP Yadav said that they had cancelled the classes 10 and 12 Hindi exams conducted at the Tauru school and Bhawad exam centre because of cheating.
“Students and teachers involved in cheating were booked by the police. We have made adequate arrangements to ensure transparency at the exam centre,” he added.

The squad arrested some youths, who were helping the students in the exam by throwing chits inside the examination hall at Ferozpur in Nuh. A board official said that they recovered the question paper from the mobile phones of arrested youths, and they got to know that the English question paper got out from Pinangwan exam centre in Nuh.
The board chairman said that some youths were arrested who got English papers out from the exam centres at Kendriya Bal Vidya High school in Jhajjar and a government school at Chetra in Sonepat.
“The English exam at both the centres and some centres in Nuh was cancelled today because transparency was not maintained,” he added.
A senior board official said that cheating cases came to the fore in rural areas of Nuh and Sonepat more this time as crowds came with the students to help them in the exam.
Nuh DEO Paramjeet Chahal said that they have sought a police force ahead of the next exam and he will initiate action against any erring official.
Mukesh Kumar, deputy superintendent of police, Tauru, said they are booking persons involved in cheating under Section 188 of the IPC and they have impounded eight bikes belonging to those who helped students cheat.
