KARACHI: Following the catching of some 52 cheaters a day earlier and 41 more on Friday during the annual Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations being held here under the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK), the Sindh government has decided to make a major decision against the copying mafia throughout the province.
To add to the problem of cheating, there were also 18 people discovered solving examination papers in place of the real candidates.
