THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, MARCH 22. The Crime Branch police probing the SSLC question paper leak are trying to identify the person who gave the photostat copy of the question paper to the reporter of a regional newspaper in the city.
An official said the unit would be questioning all persons involved in the setting of question papers, printing and distribution in a bid to pin point the source of the leak.
Officials questioned
The police today questioned officials at the Pareeksha Bhavan here. An official said the team was verifying all possible sources of the leak, including the owner and staff of the press in which the SSLC question papers were printed.
The police are also not ruling out the possibility that the paper could have been leaked while being transported from the Pareeksha Bhavan to the District Educational Offices (DEOs) concerned and from there to the examination centres. An official said the copy of the Social Studies-II (Geography) question paper that was leaked was found to be "slightly" different from the original question paper given as a sample to the Crime Branch.
The size of the typeface of the original question paper was different from the duplicate one though the fonts were the same. The code number in original question papers was missing in the copy that was leaked to the newspaper.
Reporter interviewed
The Crime Branch official also interviewed the reporter who had got the copy of the geography question paper on March 18. "The reporter said he could identify the person who gave him the question paper by sight," a senior official said. The investigators said that they would soon be formally recording the statement of the reporter.
The Crime Branch is also focussing on certain students and teachers of three schools in Thiruvananthapuram.
