SSC Hindi paper leak: Minor among three held by Warangal police

Warangal: Warangal police have arrested three persons including a minor in the SSC Hindi paper leak.

The paper was shared on Whatsapp minutes after the exam began.

Addressing the media, Warangal Commissioner AV Ranganath, the SSC paper in the second language Hindi was leaked at the exam center on Tuesday.

Three people including a minor were arrested. Two accused have been identified as M Siva Ganesh (18), and Prasanth. Police seized three cell phones.

The minor along with his friend wanted to help his friend write the exam at Uppala Government School. On Tuesday, the minor went through the rare gate to the Government Boys School under Kamalapur Police Station. When the exam began at 9.30 am, the minor took a photo of the question paper from the first floor. He then shared it with another accused through Whatsapp. The message was forwarded to a Whatsapp group `SSC 2019-20’ by Siva Ganesh at 9.59 am.

"Citing the SSC exam paper leak, Siva Ganesh forwarded it to all media including BJP President Bandi Sanjay, with distorted facts", said Ranganth.

The accused in the SSC Hindi question paper leaked is said to be a follower of Bandi Sanjay. A few pictures show Siva Ganesh with Telangana leaders, including Bandi Sanjay.

A case has been booked.
