Exam cancelled only at Bapu examination centre
The cancellation was triggered by disturbances on December 13, when candidates at the Bapu Examination Centre in the Kumhrar area protested against alleged delays in question paper distribution and claims of paper leaks.
A case was subsequently filed at the Agam Kuan police station against 50-60 unidentified individuals, as reported by the duty magistrate. While the exam was successfully conducted at 911 centres across Bihar, the disruptions at the Bapu Examination Centre necessitated the cancellation.
