II PU paper leak: CID hunts for key suspect; results likely to be delayed

Bengaluru, Apr 4: After identifying a few people, including a couple of teachers, as suspects in the II PU Chemistry question paper leak, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has set out on a massive manhunt for the prime suspect.

PUThe CID sleuths have also narrowed down on a few government school teachers, engineers of Public Works Department and officials from DPUE who could be part of the racket.

However, their links could be established only after the arrest of the suspected kingpin — identified as Kiran, an LIC agent from Tumakuru, said a senior police officer. The prime suspect was identified after the CID sleuths questioned the students who received the leaked paper on WhatsApp.

The suspect is on the run and has even switched off his mobile phone, but a team is constantly monitoring his movements and will nab him soon, a CID officer said. He, however, refused to divulge more details about the suspect.

The probe so far has revealed that several lakhs rupees had exchanged hands, the officer said. CID officials have questioned over 100 suspects with alleged links to the re-exam paper leak. The police have also questioned the 40 DPUE officials who were suspended after the March 31 incident.

Results may be delayed

Meanwhile, a possible delay in the announcement of results of II PUC is expected as the Department of Pre-University Education is bogged down with worries of lecturers boycott of evaluation. Further, the evaluators have to be relieved midway through the evaluation work to allow them to join their examination centres to conduct the chemistry paper re-examination on April 12.

The evaluation of SSLC examination answer scripts is also likely to be hit as the Karnataka State High School Assistant Masters' Association after a meeting on Sunday decided to boycott evaluation

Meanwhile, Pre-University students who on Sunday wrote the offline Joint Entrance Examination (main) for entrance in undergraduate engineering programs at NITs, IIITs and other centrally funded technical institutions found the examination moderately tough.

Bengaluru, May 11: As many as 343 Indians returned to Bengaluru from London by a special Air India flight on the fifth day of 'Vande Bharat Mission' on Monday. They arrived at the Kempegowda international airport at 4.40 am.

All passengers were found to be asymptomatic on arrival except one 27-year-old woman who had had an incomplete abortion and had vomiting on arrival. She has been shifted to KC General Hospital in Malleshwaram.

Dr Prabhu Dev Gowda, an officer on duty for COVID-19 screening at Kempegowda International Airport, said, "A 27-year-old woman has had an incomplete abortion of her three-month-old foetus before taking the flight from London. She was vomiting on arrival. She was shifted to Aster CMI Hospital for emergency care.”

“Thereafter, she and her husband were shifted to KC General Hospital in Malleshwaram. They will be in isolation there. Since there is nobody to look after her, we have to let the husband accompany her to the hospital where they will be in quarantine."

The patient was famished and was provided a few idlis on arrival, he added.

After she recovers at the hospital, the couple will be shifted to a hotel. As per protocol, their throat swabs were taken for COVID-19 testing too. All passengers whether symptomatic or not are being tested for COVID-19.

Dr Manjula Devi, District Health Officer, Bengaluru Rural district said that all passengers were found to be asymptomatic on arrival except this woman who is being treated as a non-COVID-19 emergency.

Ajith Rai, Devanahalli Tehsildar told DH, "All passengers have chosen to go to hotels over government hostels. We're yet to tabulate how many have chosen budget hotels, three-star and five-star hotels. Twenty of them are still here. The process is on."
