G 24 Hours Digital Bureau: Fraudsters will tremble if they know the law. Pushkar Singh Dhami government of Uttarakhand is bringing such a law. The state government has already issued an ordinance in this regard. I doubt if there is such a strict law anywhere in the world.
Life imprisonment if found guilty of plagiarism or cheating in employment or competitive examination. There may even be a fine of 10 crore rupees. Yes, you heard right. Uttarakhand government is going to bring such a law. An ordinance has already been issued in this regard. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami sent the ordinance to Governor Gurmeet Singh.

The Ordinance has been brought to prevent all types of irregularities, such as leakage of question papers in job or competitive examinations, cheating, etc., as demanded by the state government. The exams which are covered are government service exams, recruitment exams in semi-government sector, exams in government funded institutions. This act will bring much more impartiality in the examination system of the state. On Monday, the question of a state exam was leaked across the state.
