KYKL shoots exam cheats
2002-03-12
  • Separatist rebels in Manipur have shot a number of people suspected of helping students cheat in exams. At least seven people have been shot and injured in the past few days in what appears to be a draconian attempt to clean up the state's education system. The move has created panic among students, according to the Manipur police chief Abdul Ahad Siddiqui.

    Deputy police chief AK Parashar said the rebels were hoping to "win the sympathy" of local people who complain about government corruption. The outlawed Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) has said it carried out the attacks, saying it believed in quality education and would not allow anyone to get through exams by cheating. The KYKL is a separatist group fighting for an independent homeland for the Meiteis, the largest ethnic community in Manipur.
    Damn. And I thought having my knuckles whacked in 4th grade was extreme.
