The state high school examination board gave a clarification that the Kannada question paper was not leaked as alleged and some people might have done it deliberately. The board also said that a complaint regarding this incident is registered in Lingasagur of Raichur district, from where this incident was reported.

The invigilator of the examination hall should have collected the question paper back from the students leaving the hall before the stipulated time. However, the invigilator failed in his/her duties.
