Another question about the bootlegging in the dry state was asked in a class 12th exam paper. The question asked to the students was, ” Write a letter to district police chief complaining about the rise in sale of liquor in your area and nuisance created by bootleggers.”
“A cluster of self-financed schools and those getting grants included these two questions for internal assessment exams held on Saturday. These questions are highly objectionable, and we have initiated an inquiry. Action will be taken after the report comes in,” Gandhinagar’s district education officer Bharat Vadher told PTI.
The question papers were set by the management of these schools, run under the banner of Sufalam Shala Vikas Sankul, and the state education department had nothing to do with it, he added.
