Delhi Police have arrested two school teachers and a coaching center tutor as the probe into the CBSE papers leak gathered steam and Google identified the IP address of a person who had sent a warning email to the board's chairperson Anita Karwal.
The sender of warming email identified
Karwal had received an email with the copy of the class 10 maths paper, a day before the exam was held on March 28. The sender of the email, who claims to be the parent of a class 10 student, had said that the math paper has been leaked and had also said that the exam should be canceled.
The police had then written to Google to identify the IP address of the sender of the warning email. However, the name has not been revealed to the media.
Circulating papers on WhatsApp
Meanwhile, the cops have made another significant progress. Two private school teachers and a tutor were arrested Sunday morning for circulating the economics papers on WhatsApp.
