A professor and five students were arrested in Durg, Chhattisgarh, for leaking an Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV) entomology question paper.

The investigation is being conducted under the Chhattisgarh Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2008, and Section 316 (criminal breach of trust) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
The leak was reported via email and WhatsApp to university officials before the scheduled exam time.
