Another incident has put the spotlight back on how cheating in exams continues to evolve as a malaise in the country. A school in Mulund put its own twist on the 2015 Bihar board exam cheating scandal. Instead of allowing parents and friends to provide answers to students during the board exam, some teachers aided cheating for one student, who is the son of the secretary of the trust that runs the school.

While complaints have gone to higher authorities, including the Chief Minister, the school has defended itself saying if there is any merit in these allegations, then the complaint had to be made when the alleged cheating occurred and not many months after.
