Telangana CID probing the EAMCET-II question paper leak today
arrested one more broker, taking the total number of arrests in
connection with the case to 15.
The accused broker, identified as Ashwani Kumar Tomar (37), director
of Aakruti Consultancy Services Pvt Ltd at Rajendra Place in New Delhi,
was working as an educational consultant in the national capital, the
CID said.
“He secured two students and they were given practice with two sets
of leaked TS EAMCET-II-2016 (Medical) entrance exam question papers in
the camp conducted at Bengaluru”, the CID said in a statement.
Efforts are going on to apprehend the other brokers and accused persons of the question paper leakage, it added.
On July 25, the CID had registered a case under relevant sections of IPC
and other provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Public Examinations
(Prevention of Malpractices and Unfair means) Act, 1997, after it found
in its preliminary inquiry that there was prima facie a case for
registering an FIR.
Investigation also revealed that students appearing for TS
EAMCET-II-2016 (Medical) examination from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh
were taken to camps set up in at least five cities about two to three
days prior to the exam and were given practice with the leaked copies of
two question papers consisting of 320 questions with correct answers,
CID had earlier said.
At a review meeting held here on August 2, Chief Minister K
Chandrasekhar Rao was informed by CID officials that Delhi turned out to
be the centre for leak and there were 34 brokers, who conspired to sell
the paper and as many as 200 parents were in touch with the brokers to
buy the question papers.
The Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test
(EAMCET-II) was conducted on July 9 and the results were declared on
July 14. The exam was conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological
University (JNTU), Hyderabad.
In the wake of question paper leakage, Telangana Government on August
2 announced the cancellation of the EAMCET-II and III exams will be
held on September 11.
