The three arrested from the coaching centre include a teacher and two directors of the academy, said Variar. Nine minors were also detained under the Juvenile Justice Act are Class X students and will be sent to juvenile correctional homes. The Delhi Police had earlier already questioned over 60 people in connection with the CBSE leak case, including the administrators of over 10 WhatsApp groups on which the leaked question papers were shared, as the investigators sought to trace the origin of the leak.

All those questioned revealed that they got the papers from someone else. There is nothing to indicate that money was charged for sharing these papers, an official privy to the probe said.
