On Monday when class XII students were giving their economics exam, CBSE received an unaddressed envelop which had hand written answers to the questions from the paper. CBSE lodged an FIR regarding the same with the Delhi Police Crime Branch on Tuesday.
According to the sources, crime branch has registered two cases on the basis of complaints received from the CBSE.
The FIR, on the “complaint regarding anti-social elements”, read: “On March 26, the CBSE Academic Unit at Rouse Avenue received an unaddressed envelope containing copies of four sheets of handwritten answers of the economics paper, indicating that the question paper had been leaked and circulated on WhatsApp groups.” The envelope also had four phone numbers which the officers are now probing.
According to the sources, the Special Investigation Team will investigate both the schools and the tutors.
An officer said "CBSE officials may be questioned and the locations where question papers are kept checked. It is a pan-India investigation. Prima facie the leak appears to be from Delhi, but there is a possibility of involvement of people from other states," said the officer.
