CBSE Paper leak: 3 more arrested from Himachal Pradesh

New Delhi, Delhi, India

Police arrested three persons --a teacher, clerk and support staff -- over the leak of CBSE Class XII Economics paper which was leaked in handwritten form.

All three were arrested from Himachal Pradesh.

Earlier this week Delhi Police's crime Branch questioned the principal of a school whose two teachers were arrested for their alleged role in the leak.

However, the officials later informed that they did find anything that could indicate his involvement in the leak.

The Delhi police are trying to find the link to the module in which handwritten papers were circulated before the Class 10 mathematics and Class 12 economics exam.

According to reports so far 150 people have been questioned including both teachers and students. 

However, the trace has still not been found.

The Delhi Police has lodged two cases over the leaks of the CBSE question papers.

The first case related to the leak of economics question paper was lodged on March 27, while the other pertaining to the leak of mathematics paper was lodged on March 28, following a complaint by the CBSE's regional director.

The examinations for the class 12 economics papers and class 10 mathematics were held on March 26 and March 28, respectively.
