There seems to be not let up in the anger among the students over the CBSE paper leak. A group of students staged a demonstration near the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) office at Preet Vihar in Delhi against the leak of Class 10 Maths and Class 12 Economics papers.
“The students tried to block the road in front of the CBSE office, but we kept them away. A group of about 25-30 students are protesting outside the CBSE office,” said a senior Delhi Police officer.
There has been massive protests by the students on the streets of the capital and in Jantar Mantar. The students are apparently distraught after yet another paper leak . Thereby throwing their future in jeopardy.
The board has recently announced a re-examination of the Class 12 Economics paper on 25 April, while the re-test for the Class 10 Maths paper is likely to be conducted in July.
On Friday, education secretary Anil Swarup said that a preliminary enquiry had revealed that the leak for the Class 10 Mathematics paper was restricted to Delhi and Haryana. Two cases have been registered in the CBSE paper leak so far.
The Crime Branch of Delhi Police has questioned nearly 60 people, including students and tutors, in this connection. The police are also likely to probe the administrators of over 10 WhatsApp groups on which the leaked question papers were shared, as the investigators sought to trace the origin of the leak.
The Delhi Police has registered two cases in connection with the leaks. The first case relating to the leak of the economics paper was lodged on March 27 and the other pertaining to the mathematics paper was lodged on March 28, following a complaint by the regional director of the CBSE.
The cases were registered on charges of criminal breach of trust, cheating and criminal conspiracy.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) comprising two deputy commissioners of police, four assistant commissioners and five inspectors has been set up to investigate the matter.
The team is being supervised by the joint commissioner of police (crime).
