The development is described as an enforcement- and accountability-oriented action against people linked to examination malpractice.

What changed now
The House passing an anti-paper leak law marks a move toward a dedicated legal deterrent for question-paper leaks. The Prime Minister’s quoted assurance of strict accountability indicates an enforcement emphasis for individuals found involved in leak-related wrongdoing.
