The Delhi police has sent to the CBSE a list of students, who had allegedly received the leaked Class 10 Mathematics and Class 12 Economics question papers, after the board sought it from the crime branch, an official privy to the probe said.

In the report, the police also mentioned that the principal of a school in Bawana whose teachers were arrested for allegedly leaking the papers a few hours before the exam, was not cooperating in the probe.

The principal of Mother Khazani Convent School at Bawana was quizzed many times in connection with the case earlier.

A senior crime branch officer said the CBSE had requested them to provide details of students who had received the leaked papers.

Last week, the police sent an investigation report to the board mentioning the names of over 60 students, he said, adding, these students were quizzed by the crime branch while it was probing the case.

Two modules were allegedly involved in leaking the CBSE question papers. Other than the Class 12 Economics paper, the Class 10 Mathematics paper had also surfaced online before the scheduled examination.

One of the modules was busted in Una town of Himachal Pradesh last month and six people were arrested in connection with leaking the question papers.

The Bawana module was busted in March, and three people, including two teachers of a private school, were arrested.
