With a view to listening to the other side of the city, the enquiry of chiefs was appointed on those centres began on Monday.

A total of seven centre chiefs from Beed and five from Hingoli were called to the divisional office for the hearing.

The officers asked questions like whether answer books were submitted after the time was over, when did the custodian receive the answer books or whether was there any incident of mass copying. The officers said that the enquiry would continue until they find who was responsible for the mismatch in the handwriting of students.
