Director General of Police Anurag Sharma tabled the CID report before the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao who ordered a fresh test.
Meanwhile, hundreds of students and parents took to the streets on Friday at various places to protest against the leak of question papers and demanded that the Telnagana Government punish students who had bought the leaked questions papers. They and appealed to the state government not to cancel the test.
Meanwhile, the Telangana CID has on Saturday arrested 52-year-old Shaik Raheem alias Ramesh in connection with the leak of the question papers.
