The district Congress committee, Kozhikode, on Saturday, held a ‘satyagraha’ outside the office of the Deputy Director of Education, seeking a judicial probe into the leakage of half-yearly examination question papers in State syllabus schools. Ramesh Chennithala, former Opposition leader and MLA, opened the protest.

Mr. Chennithala alleged that the ongoing Crime Branch investigation into the question paper leak was a delaying tactic and a farce. He claimed that V. Sivankutty had become a disgrace to the Department of General Education and those who made him a Minister should be punished.
