At 82, ex-Haryana CM Chautala clears class 12 exam

CHANDIGARH: Former Haryana chief minister Om Prakash Chautala finally cleared his higher secondary examination, securing a first class. The feat was accomplished while he serves a 10-year sentence in Delhi's Tihar Jail. His younger son and senior INLD leader Abhay Singh Chautala said, “He appeared for the Class XII examination conducted by the National Institute of Open Schooling at the centre set up for prisoners at Tihar Jail. The last examination was held on April 23. He was out on parole during that time, but as the examination centre was inside the jail premises, he went back to jail and sat for the examination.”
