Coaching institute head held as suspect behind CBSE paper leak
New Delhi, Mar 29 (IBNS) : Delhi police on Thursday detained a coaching institute founder in connection with the Central Board of Secondary Education paper leak case after the board authorities named him as a suspect in a complaint, reports said.
The man identified as 40-year-old Vicky was detained a day after the CBSE announced that it would re-conduct the Class 10 mathematics and Class 12 economics examinations following reports that the exam papers had leaked.
Vicky is the owner of a Delhi-based Vidya Coaching Centre.
He is currently being questioned by crime brunch officers.
CBSE said it was informed about the man by an anonymous person, who sent a letter to the board.
"CBSE received a complaint by fax on March 23, from an unknown source that someone named Vicky, who runs a coaching institute in Rajinder Nagar’s Sector 8 is involved in the paper leak," media reports quoted a letter of the CBSE regional director. .
The Delhi Police has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the paper leak.
Initial investigation has reportedly suggested that the papers were leaked a day before the Class 10 mathematics examination.
Yesterday, the CBSE announced retests for the Class 10 mathematics and Class 12 economics subjects.
The fresh dates have not yet been announced.
