Cop held in SSC paper leak caseS Ahmed Ali TNNApril 4, 2014Mumbai: The city crime branch arrested police constable Uday Kadam, the father of a student caught with an original copy of the SSC Algebra paper on Thursday. Kadam, who has been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and Maharashtra Prevention of Malpractices at University, Board and Other Specified Examinations Act, 1982, will be produced before court on Friday. Kadam, who has put in 20 years of service, is attached to the Charkop police station. Investigations have suggested that a school teacher where he was posted on bandobast duty gave him the question paper. The Maharashtra State Board in Pune had written to the crime branch seeking its intervention last month. Senior board officials had told TOI that they had doubts that the Kandivli police had been trying to cover up the leak due to the involvement of a colleague. Joint commissioner of police Sadanand Date confirmed the arrest and said further investigations were on. The 16-year-old student was caught with the original copy of the question paper at an exam centre in Kandivli on March 11. He first claimed that he got the question paper from his father, but later said he got it from two youths outside Borivli station. He was arrested and sent to the Dongri remand home, but was later released on bail. The state board will take separate action against him too. |
