EAMCET-II paper leak case: Youth Congress protests outside Telangana Ministers' quarters

Youth Congress protested outside Telangana Ministers quarters in Hyderabad on Friday over the Eamcet-2 paper leak issue. A few of the protesters were detained, ANI reported.

The Telangana CID is probing the leak of the Medical EAMCET-II question paper. On Thursday the CID arrested two persons and found that two sets of the paper were leaked prior to the examination conducted earlier this month. The agency has also identified some suspected middlemen during the investigation.

"In the investigation conducted so far, some brokers and sub-brokers belonging to Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, Bengaluru and other places have been identified," a CID release stated.

The duo, identified as Vishnudhar alias Vishnuvardhan and Thirumal alias Thirumal Rao, were arrested from Hyderabad.

"Vishnuvardhan and Rao allegedly contacted students, parents and took about 25 of them to Bengaluru where one Rajagopal Reddy arranged practice of questions and answers to them (before appearing for the exams)," the release said.

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.
