Goa University submits report on paper leak to governor

Goa University has submitted a report regarding an alleged paper leak case to the governor, P S Sreedharan Pillai. The report comes from a two-member fact-finding committee created to investigate the situation. University officials are now awaiting the governor's instructions on how to proceed. Initially, the report was meant to be presented to the university's executive council. However, due to the seriousness of the issue, it was sent directly to the chancellor. The fact-finding committee was formed on Monday with a tight deadline of 48 hours to complete its investigation. One faculty member, who has been accused of leaking a question paper, has been suspended pending any further inquiry. The controversy began when a group of activists, led by Kashinath Shetye, alleged that the faculty member stole a question paper and shared it with a female student to help her. They filed a complaint with the Agasaim police, who have not yet registered a formal report but are looking into the allegations. In light of these claims, the university decided to set up the committee to determine if there was any truth to the accusations. The governor requested a report on the situation due to the public concern surrounding the issue.
