Solved papers of the past are released and public property. If a candidate takes a paper home if he or she is permitted to dispose of as pleased provided no condition was there to hand papers over to a third party. I see no crime committed by this teacher.

Good job Rangers but it's sad that our Police is sleeping in these matters. Rangers should focus on bigger fishes - who are involved in appointing such thugs as Teachers, amongst other crimes.

It's good, but is it really what rangers are for?
It looks like Sindh Police is only good at fleecing ordinary citizens.

Confendiality of examination paper is a must. If it is out then it may be termed as academic dishonesty. It is immoral and against professional ethics. The person who commmits such act can be booked under fraud and theft section of criminal law.
But the person who is apprehended by rangers is not alone. Others who are involved in this unethical offence may also be searched and brought to justice

Does this fall under terrorism?? Rangers seem to have extended their scope of operation. Sindh police and its budget must eradicate in order to foster rangers.

He is one of thousands, responsible for destruction of our Education system. Cheating at examination centres, sale/purchase of papers, impersonation by candidates, sale of positions in board exams, fake degrees and experiments of education system has led to a collapse of system.

@Desi Dimag The basic concept of this particular quote can be interpreted that first you have to finish of the schooling or college. In our South Asian area, students cheat their way out to pass there matric or inter, then how can you even imagine that these people would come up with any better Idea. Every idea needs hard work. Students here does not want to do hard work , all they want is a piece of cake. Sorry but no Ideas have ever be generated in the history of this world without any hard work.

Those people of the education board must have surely been bribed by the photocopy shop owner for the purpose of obtaining copy of English paper. Rangers must arrest those criminals too.

'Ashfaq is being handed over to the police, the Rangers said'.

This reflects in the interviews we take from candidates desirous of joining our organization. The degree is genuine but the candidates are blank. This makes us think that the education level is not up to the mark . Cheating does not serve any purpose it only damages the careers of students
