Students in Nepal taking part in the ongoing Secondary Education Examination (SEE) in Brahman Gorchari Exam Centre in Siraha have destroyed the close circuit television (CCTV) cameras placed inside the exam hall on Wednesday, The Kathmandu Post reports.

The students vandalised six CCTV cameras and tore down the wires connecting them in front of the police as they could not cheat during the exams, Exam Centre Chief Rajlal Rae said.

Meanwhile, Police Inspector Jugeshwor Raut, who is deployed at the exam centre, said that they came to know about students’ destroying the CCTV cameras later on as they were checking examinees at the main gate.

Ward Chairman Ganesh Chaudhary had installed the CCTV cameras worth Rs 60,000 so as to make the SEE disciplined.

“The CCTV cameras were destroyed in the presence of the police,” Chairman Chaudhary said, “This incident lets us know how the examinations are being conducted.”
