A leaked exam paper, a lost shoe, and the price of public trust
A teacher-recruitment exam in Maharashtra was sold for Rs 8,000 and a single shoe, according to investigators. The leak is less interesting than what it reveals about the systems meant to prevent it.

Desk note: the wire coverage of competitive-exam leaks in India tends to read as a procedural crime story, with the procedural details foregrounded and the policy stakes pushed to the final paragraph. This piece reverses the order: the policy stakes are the story, the shoe is the lede.
