Assam Police arrest 22 people including students, teachers in question paper leak case

The leak led to the test's cancellation, according to a senior police officer.

While the state education minister, Ranoj Pegu, acknowledged that individuals had been arrested, he did not provide any specifics, citing the ongoing investigation.

The Assam Police launched a criminal investigation, which was transferred to the CID on Monday.

Gyanendra Pratap Singh, the Director General of Police for Assam, tweeted that 22 people have been arrested from various locations across the state and that further legal action was being taken against them.

The education minister expressed his regret over the situation, stating that some teachers had been arrested but emphasizing that he could not provide additional information due to the ongoing investigation.

Pegu had previously stated that there was no evidence of teacher involvement in the leak, as the question papers were stored in police stations and only delivered to examination centres on the day of the exam.
