Assam: Students, others brought to CID HQ in class 10 board paper leak case

Several students from various parts of Assam were on Wednesday brought to the CID headquarters here for questioning in connection with its investigation into the alleged leak of a question paper of the class 10 state board exam, an officer said.

The number of arrests in the case remains at three, he said.

"We have detained students, teachers and others across Assam. They have been brought to Guwahati for further questioning," the CID officer said.

He, however, refused to share any further details.

Director General of Police (DGP) GP Singh on Wednesday morning reached Dibrugarh from where around six students have been detained so far.

Education Minister Ranoj Pegu, talking to reporters outside the assembly here, said that the CID is investigating to get to the root of the paper leak.

"Some students and others have been arrested or detained so far. But we have to be patient and need to wait for the CID probe to be over to know from where the paper leak originated," Pegu said.
