Dharamshala: Around 62 students have passed
the annual matriculation examination of the Himachal Pradesh
Board of School Education without appearing in the exams and
two persons have been arrested in this connection, police said
Friday.
A group of 62 students passed the matric examination of
the Board this year without taking the exam and their answer
sheets had allegedly reached the spot evaluation centers by
