Telangana Eamcet-II paper leak: CID quizzes students

Hyderabad: Crime Investigation Department (CID) sleuths started questioning some education consultants and students as part of the investigation into the Eamcet-II paper leak case on Tuesday.
The CID sleuths reportedly grilled Venkat Rao and Ramesh, brokers of certain education consultancies from the city, who allegedly contacted several students who appeared for the Eamcet-II offering the leaked question paper.
Cops also grilled three girl students from Bhoopalpally and Parakala in Warangal district, who had achieved significantly better marks in the Eamcet-II when compared to their score in Eamcet-I.
Investigators confronted the brokers with cell phone call recordings handed over to them by the parents of some students. The audio recordings contained the conversation between the brokers and the parents about the paper leak.
The three girls from Warangal district, who scored very high in the Eamcet-II, had left the coaching centre in Vijayawada a week before the exam and police suspect that during that period they were with the brokers memorising answers for the leaked questions.
However, the cell phone data of one of the girl students indicated that her phone was at her native place after she left the coaching centre in Vijayawada.
"We are trying to gather evidence to prove that there was paper leak in the Eamcet-II. So far, no concrete evidence has been found," a CID official said.
