KATHMANDU, July 26: Police have arrested two individuals in connection with the leak of the Organizational Behavior question paper for the first-semester Master of Business Studies (MBS) examination at Tribhuvan University (TU). The Cyber Bureau has taken into custody two suspects, including a person known as “Sulav Sir,” and launched an investigation. 



Investigators are focusing on a WhatsApp group named “MBS First Sem Section C,” which has 1,023 members. Preliminary findings indicate that the question paper was shared in the group about five minutes after the examination began. Screenshots circulating online show the paper being posted from an account identified as “Sulav Sir,” followed by requests for solutions and the sharing of additional PDF files.

Following the leak, the Office of the Dean of TU’s Faculty of Management formally requested the Cyber Bureau to investigate the case and take legal action against those responsible.
