Three persons, including two teachers of a private school at Bawana in outer Delhi, were arrested by the rime Branch for their suspected roles in leakage of the Class 12 CBSE Economics paper, the police said today.
The accused have been identified as Rishabh, 29 and Rohit, 26, both teachers at a private school in Bawana, and Tauqeer, 26, a tutor at a private coaching centre there, they said.
On the days of the examination, Tauqeer used to circulate leaked question papers about an hour before their beginning among his tuition students who would further circulate them among their friends. He used to get the leaked papers on WhatsApp from Rishabh, who is a Physics teacher and Rohit, who is a Mathematics teacher, at the same school.
Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Alok Kumar said, "It is at 9.45 am when the papers are opened. The teachers' duo used to click the pictures of the papers 40 minutes prior to that and send to Tauqeer who further used to circulate to the students."
