Shanti was asked to lie down in a different room as this information was passed on to the District Education Official. Following his directions, Shanti was sent by ambulance to the Sadar Hospital, where she gave birth to a boy.

He also said that his wife managed to complete the objective-type questions before the pain started. He added that God has given him a son during an examination, because of this the kid has been named ‘Imtihaan’. Shanti further wants to study and take up a job.
