What happened

A school attendant cut open sealed question-paper covers, photographed the papers and resealed them; the images reached a private tutorial and were used in YouTube videos before the exams. The last three quarterly and Christmas sittings were affected, including Plus One physics, chemistry, biology and maths and Class 10 English. Crime Branch arrested the attendant in March 2025 and took a tutor and a teacher into custody. Month placeholder for the December 2024 sitting.

Every row here is one news report away from being verifiable — and there are leaks we have certainly missed, especially state recruitment exams before 2015 and cases reported only in regional-language press. The dataset is one CSV file. Adding to it takes a pull request.
