Ignou staffer among five arrested for paper leak

New Delhi:04.03.2019

A breakthrough has been made by crime branch in the leak of question papers of Indira Gandhi National Open University (Ignou) reported in December 2018. Five people, including an Ignou employee, have been arrested in countrywide raids. The gang had leaked papers of courses like MCA and BCA and sold them to applicants.

The arrested Ignou staffer, Dev Shankar, 31, works at the university’s study centre in Bokaro Steel City. Vivek was arrested from Bengaluru, Ankit from Sambhal in UP, Iqbal from Govindpuri in Delhi and Johnson from Gurgaon. The mobile phones used in transmitting images of the leaked papers have been seized.

Additional commissioner (crime) Ajit Singla said the Ignou registrar had complained to police in December about the leak. He had received emails from two IDs — royalrocky**@gmail.com and hk62632**@gmail.com — in which the senders had claimed that the papers had been leaked. An FIR was registered at Neb Sarai police station, but the case was later handed over to crime branch. TNN
