Nellore: Police investigation the SSC General Science paper-1 (physics) leakage case reportedly found involvement of many teachers and staff members of some corporate schools. The paper was leaked at an examination centre run by Narayana institutions on March 25.
The incident created tremors and assumed political colour with opposition demanding resignation of two ministers in Assembly on March 28. According to police, an attender Praveen, who works at Narayana College, clicked snaps of the question paper in the presence of some invigilators and forwarded four pages of it through WhatsApp to many people.
As part of investigation by the cybercrime wing after Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had ordered a probe into the issue on Tuesday, the police officials found that the question paper was reportedly leaked to some other teachers and physical science teachers for distributing slips to the candidates as planned. It would be easy for the errant teachers to collect answers and feed them to their client-student if the question paper is available, sources said.
Guntur range inspector general of police N Sanjay and senior officials of the intelligence department have been camping in the city from Tuesday and are monitoring the investigation. It was reportedly found that majority of those who received the copies of leaked question paper were teachers working in popular private and corporate schools.
More than 25 people received the question papers and a journalist forwarded the message he received to the district education officer (DEO) for confirmation. District police officials so far confirmed the role of attender in Narayana institutions so far.
Interestingly, the DEO, who failed to predict further action from the government after opposition made it an issue in Assembly, forwarded the report to the higher officials of the education department on Saturday itself for information, which reportedly irked the senior officials.
Now, police officials are mainly focussing on the role of teachers and other staff members of different institutions who received the paper and to whom they had subsequently forwarded it.
But district officials are tight-lipped on the developments as the Chief Minister is himself monitoring the case in which a minister, to whom the school belongs, is facing allegations from the opposition.
