Delhi police has set up a special team for investigating the leak of two CBSE question papers. The Central Board of Secondary Education scrapped both; Class 12 economics exam and Class 10 mathematics exam, after the reports that students had been able to access the handwritten question papers. The probe which started last evening has so far questioned 25 people, mostly students. The police are working to trace the source of the CBSE leaked papers that appear to have been circulated over WhatsApp, the encrypted messenger service.
Here are the highlights of the CBSE paper leak case:

"The CBSE officials received a complaint via fax from an unknown person on March 23 that Vicky (coaching centre owner) is involved in the leak of question papers," said a police officer. "Police are suspecting a strong syndicate involved in the question paper leak. We will also question CBSE officers who could be involved," the officer said.
