Talking about the IGNOU’s paper leak incident, an officer on Monday said that the Delhi Police has registered an FIR in the case and has also interrogated around 20 students from the university. On the complaint of IGNOU Registrar, S.G. Swami, the police had registered an FIR on charges of cheating and criminal conspiracy after university’s C++ question paper was leaked in Dabri Police Station of Dwarka district in New Delhi.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Anto Alphonse told IANS: "We are investigating the case of IGNOU question paper leak and trying to locate the starting point from where it originated on WhatsApp."
The news of the question paper leak first reached the Registrar of IGNOU on December 5 after the paper was sent to him on WhatsApp. He confirmed the fact and came to know that the origin of the question paper leak was the exam center in Dwarka which falls under Dabri Police station.
"Since the matter was highly sensitive, we informed the Chairman about the leak. During the inquiry, we found the same question paper on mobile phones of several candidates," said Vijay Pal, the observer of Dwarka center.
During the investigation, it was found that a group of students studying in a coaching center in Dwarka, shared the paper on Whats App from where it spread among other students and eventually reached the registrar of the university.
