India increases penalties for exam leaks
The Indian Parliament's House of Representatives approved a bill aimed at tightening penalties for those involved in exam question leaks, raising the maximum sentence from 5 to 10 years in prison and imposing fines of over one million dollars. This comes amid widespread protests organized by the "Cockroach Party" movement against cheating, which led to the resignation of the Minister of Education. The anger intensified after a widespread cheating incident in the medical college entrance exam, resulting in several suicides. The law still requires approval from the Senate and faces criticism and political confrontations due to violations of students' rights and police intervention during the protests.
