    What's the story

    A day after the CBSE announced the re-examination for Class 12 Economics and Class 10 Math papers due to alleged paper leaks, the Board office had said that it received an unaddressed envelope on March 26 containing four sheets of handwritten answers of the Class 12 Economics paper.

    The CBSE revealed about the handwritten answers in its complaint to the Delhi Police.

    Here's more.

    The paper leak

    Delhi Police's crime branch is investigating the alleged leak

    The Delhi Police's crime branch is investigating the alleged leak of Class 12 economics and Class 10 mathematics papers after registering two separate cases in the matter.

    In the wake of reports claiming paper leaks, the CBSE had yesterday announced re-examination of the two papers.

    In its complaint, the Board has said that they received a complaint by fax on March 23.

    Information

    When CBSE received a complaint from an "unknown source"

    The March 23 complaint was received from an "unknown source" that a man running a coaching institute in Rajinder Nagar was involved in paper leakage, the Board said. The Board's complaint also named two schools in Rajinder Nagar for their involvement in the alleged leakage.

    Unaddressed envelope

    Unaddressed envelope to CBSE unit indicated Economics paper was leaked

    On March 26, when the students sat for the Economics paper, the CBSE Academic unit at Rouse Avenue received an unaddressed envelope in the evening containing four sheets of handwritten answers of the Economics paper.

    "It was indicated in the papers kept inside the envelope that the question paper was leaked and circulated through WhatsApp group numbers," the complaint said.

    Cases

    Two cases have been registered by the Delhi Police

    On Monday, panic had gripped students of Class 12 following claims on social media that the Economics paper had been leaked even though the CBSE denied there was any slip-up.

    Delhi Police said they have registered two cases.

    The first case in connection with Economics paper leak was lodged on March 27 while the case pertaining to mathematics paper was lodged on March 28

    Investigation

    Cases registered following complaint by CBSE's regional director

    The cases were registered following a complaint by the regional director of CBSE, on charges of criminal breach of trust, cheating and criminal conspiracy.

    A special investigation team comprising two deputy commissioners of police, four assistant commissioners of police and five inspectors has been set up to investigate the matter.

    The team will be directly supervised by the joint commissioner of police (crime).

    Accountancy paper leak

    Delhi govt receives complaints of Accountancy paper leak

    Reports about the Economics paper being leaked had circulated on social media, including on WhatsApp, several hours before the paper commenced on Monday.

    The CBSE, however, denied any leak and urged students and parents not to panic.

    A similar incident occurred on March 15, when the Delhi government had said that it had received complaints of the Class 12 CBSE Accountancy paper being leaked.

    Details

    "There has been no leakage of the question paper"

    A probe on Accountancy paper leak was later ordered even though CBSE had denied any leak.

    "There has been no leakage of the question paper. All the seals have been found intact at all exam centers. However, at the local level, some miscreants may have circulated messages through social media platforms to hurt the sanctity of the exam," the board had said then.
