CBSE denies paper leak, government orders probe

The development comes after Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia tweeted on Thursday morning about the complaints received by him in this regard. “Received complaints about the Class 12 CBSE Accountancy paper being leaked. Have asked officers of Directorate of Education to investigate and lodge a complaint with CBSE,” he said on Twitter.

A senior CBSE official, however, said, “There has been no leakage of the question paper. All the seals have been found intact at all exam centres. However, at local level, some miscreants may have circulated messages through WhatsApp and other platforms to destroy the sanctity of the exam”.
