Drafted under section of the question paper, the 5-mark question in the English Language and Literature paper read: The diabolical violence that broke out in the national capital on Republic Day filled the hearts of the citizens with condemnation and abhorrence after the farm law protesters went on a rampage destroying public property and attacking police personnel in broad daylight. Write a letter to the Editor of a daily newspaper in your city, condemning such terrible, violent acts of miscreants who fail to realise that country comes before personal needs and gains. Destroying public property, disgracing the national flag, and attacking police personnel are few of the various illegal offences committed, that can never be justified for any reason whatsoever.”

According to the media reports, the exam was held on February 11 at DAV Boys Senior Secondary School Gopalapuram, Chennai. 

As per the question stated in the test, the students were  asked to suggest a few measures to "thwart such violent maniacs who act under external instigation".
