CBSE Class XII economics paper leak: 3 from HP held
08.04.2018
New Delhi: A week after the first breakthrough in the CBSE question paper leak case, the special investigation team of Delhi Police busted another group that had leaked the Class XII economics paper from Una in Himachal Pradesh. Rakesh Kumar, appointed by the education board as an exam co-ordinator, was discovered to have circulated handwritten copies of the question paper among his students and a relative in Chandigarh. Two employees of DAV Public School were also apprehended.
Special commissioner (crime) R P Upadhyay confirmed the developments to TOI and said the accused were produced in a court and taken on remand for two days of questioning. More arrests are likely with at least a dozen people being interrogated. The role of other teachers in the school is also being probed. A case of criminal breach of trust (Section 406 of IPC), cheating (420) and criminal conspiracy (120B) has been registered against the three men.
The paper that Kumar leaked was eventually circulated in 40 Whatsapp groups. The commerce and economics teacher had been put in charge of overseeing the exams for three other schools at an exam centre there. He took the help of clerk Amit Sharma and peon Ashok to access the question paper to give to students who came to him for tuitions and to a woman relative whose son was appearing for the examination.
“Since Kumar had earlier worked as a co-ordinator with CBSE, his principal again recommended his name for this task in February. He was given access to the bank vault where the paper was stored,” said Alok Kumar, joint commissioner (crime). TNN
