Telangana CID to probe suspected medical exam paper leak 

Hyderabad: Telangana Director General of Police Anurag Sharma on Wedneday ordered a preliminary inquiry by CID into alleged leakage of Medical EAMCET-2 question paper.

The Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (EAMCET-2), held for admissions to MBBS and BDS courses, was conducted on July 9 and the results were declared on July 14. The examination was conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), Hyderabad.

Following reports in a section of the media about leakage of question paper of Medical EAMCET-2 ahead of the examination, the JNTU officials today requested the Telangana DGP to look into the issue.

“They (JNTU) have simply given a petition based on newspaper reports and sought an inquiry. There is no formal complaint and no case has been registered. I have asked our chaps (in CID) to check it out”, the DGP told PTI.

Earlier, Telangana Health Minister C Laxma Reddy had said an inquiry has been instituted to address doubts about the examination.
