Beed, March 13 A man entered an SSC exam center in Ashti, in the Beed district of Maharashtra, on Friday and assaulted a female student, triggering outrage among parents who sought an explanation from authorities over the security breach.
The incident occurred at the Doithan center in Beedsangvi at 10:15 am, just before the School Secondary Certificate exam was about to begin, an official said.
"He punched the girl and fled before those in the vicinity could overpower him. The parents of the girl, who were summoned to the school, had a heated argument with authorities over the security breach. Others supported them," he said.
The girl, who was shaken from the incident, was allowed to answer the exam under supervision, the official added.

An official from the Ashti police station said that all efforts are underway to apprehend the accused.
