CBSE paper leak case: Accused denies link with CBSE official
The three accused, held for their alleged roles in leaking the Class 12 Economics paper, have denied any link with the CBSE official suspended for "laxity" in his duty, said a police official, privy to the probe. The arrested teachers Rishabh (29) and Rohit (26) of the Mother Khazani Convent School in Bawana, and coaching center tutor Tauqeer (26) denied any links during interrogation.
Suspended CBSE official given responsibility to deliver Economics papers
The police said the accused were quizzed over their possible links with CBSE official KS Rana after his suspension. Rana was given the responsibility of delivering the Economics paper to the Mother Khazani Convent School. The papers were delivered earlier than the stipulated time and Rishabh and Rohit got a chance to share the paper's images with their associate Tauqeer, said the officer.
Delhi Police lodged two cases over the paper leaks
"We questioned Rishabh and Rohit about Rana but they denied his connivance in the matter. If we find that the official (Rana) was involved in the matter, he will be probed. A departmental inquiry has been initiated against him. We will seek details from the Board about the inquiry," the officer added. The Delhi Police have lodged two cases over the question paper leaks.

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 filed on March 28, following a complaint by the CBSE's regional director. The examinations for the Class 10 Mathematics and Class 12 Economic papers had been held on March 28 and March 26 respectively.
