New Delhi: The special investigation team probing the CBSE paper leaks has detained around a dozen people including coaching centre owners and tutors for interrogation, police said on Thursday. While the police have some suspects, a breakthrough has eluded them so far.
Sources said the crime branch is trying to reversetrace the chain of WhatsApp messages containing the questions in an attempt to reach the source of the leaks. Some invigilators and CBSE insiders are also under the scanner. The cyber cell is likely to be roped in to crack the Whatsapp chain, a senior police official said. Seven DU students were also among those questioned.
“The crime branch has conducted raids in more than 10 places across Delhi and NCR,” special commissioner (crime) R P Upadhyay said on Thursday.

No arrests made in CBSE paper leak so far
“So far we have questioned a few people including some owners of coaching centres and college students. A total of 18 students and five tutors have been questioned. The two SITs are also questioning some administrators of two WhatsApp groups. No arrests have been made so far,” he added.
Seven Delhi University students were among those questioned. The probe has revealed that at least 24 students from different schools in outer and northeast Delhi had received the Class X maths paper through a WhatsApp group, while the Class XII economics paper was circulated among 10 students. These students will also be examined.
Among other angles, police are probing if the papers were leaked from the centre where they were kept before being distributed. Papers are usually sent to the exam centre around an hour before the exam.
The students have claimed that these papers were readily available on encrypted social media apps. Though officially crime branch denied coming across a money trail, but the probe had indicated that the papers were being sold for as little as ₹10,000 to ₹15,000. Once money exchanged hands, exam papers were forwarded to students via WhatsApp. It became viral because students then forwarded it to others.
