New Delhi, March 31: The Delhi Police's Crime Branch has got a reply from Google on the details it had sought pertaining to the e-mail address from where the chairperson of te Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) was sent a mail about the Class 10 mathematics paper being leaked, an official privy to the probe said. Special Commissioner of Police (crime) R.P. Upadhyay said they have received details of the email address and the sender of the mail has been identified. The police said that a Class 10 student had received the mathematics paper on WhatsApp and he had used his father's e-mail ID to send the mail to the CBSE chairperson.

The police had also asked the board to compile the list of complaints that it had received pertaining to the paper leak.

The CBSE has shared some of the complaints that it had received through e-mails and letters. Police are analysing these complaints to ascertain whether they were acts of mischief or was there any truth to them.

Meanwhile, the police continued with their quest to trace the origin of the papers leak as they visited the schools and coaching centres in outer Delhi that had come under their scanner. More than 60 people, including 53 students and seven teachers have been questioned till now, but the officer said there was “no breakthrough” in the case so far. Police have zeroed in on six WhatsApp groups that figured in the trail of transmission of papers and they probed.

The Special Investigation Team (SIT), comprising two deputy commissioners of police, four assistant commissioners of police and five inspectors, that was looking into the matter has been strengthened with the addition of two more assistant commissioners of police and their teams. This was done since the ambit of the probe has widened and there is a possibility of the question papers leak being connected to other parts of the country. are being
