After four days of preliminary inquiry into the alleged leakage of EAMCET paper-II, Telangana Crime Investigation Department officials on Monday registered a criminal case.
The fresh evidence stumbled upon by CID officials suggests that most part of the question paper was leaked to at least five to eight candidates. It was confirmed that a good number of these candidates hailed from Bhupalpally of Warangal district and parts of Khammam.
A few weeks before the exam, these students went to an academy in neighbouring State where “experts charging Rs. 1,000 a day” took classes. “Some of these students disappeared from the academy four to eight days before the exam. Eventually, these candidates got better ranks vis-à-vis their previous performance and this aroused suspicion,” investigators said.
