Bangalore: Ten Nabbed for PUC Question Paper Leak
Bangalore, Arp 2 (PTI): Ten persons were today arrested in connection with the leakage of second year Pre-University examination papers of Mathematics and Physics subjects at Chikmagalur recently, a top CID official said.
Investigation revealed that the accused allegedly took the Mathematics and Physics question papers from the Sub Treasury, Kadur, made the photo copies inside the Sub Treasury itself and then sold these photo copies to several persons in different parts of the state.
The probe disclosed that Pasha, a first time offender masterminded the whole racket. He befriended Sunil Kumar, an employee of the Sub Treasury to whom its keys were entrusted and hatched the whole plan, DGP (CID) Roopak Kumar Dutta told reporters here.
Sunil Kumar allowed Pasha inside the Sub Treasury and locked it from outside. Pasha opened the Sub Treasury, took the question papers and the photo copies and after he finished taking the photo copies, Kumar opened the door for him to come out, the official alleged.
The question papers leaked on March 19 leading to re-scheduling of exams.
On March 20, the state government ordered CID probe into the question paper leakage.
