In his statement, Advocate Sanjay Hegde continued, What emerges is that there is an organised gang, with a past record of leaking papers. “It is their business model. Leaked paper is a time-limited commodity. Everybody to whom the leaked paper goes will try to maximise the profits.” He emphasised, “The fact is that we cannot tell the students that it was a fair exam.”

The National Testing Agency (NTA) consistently denied any exam leak and failed to cooperate with the Bihar police. Despite receiving a letter from the Economic Offenses Unit (EOU), the NTA did not respond immediately, according to Live Law. It was only after persistent questioning and inquiries from the court that the NTA began providing the necessary data.

‘Admittedly, there was a leak from Hazaribagh. It was intercepted in Patna, but we don’t know where it all went,” adds Adv Sanjay Hegde. According to inquiry findings, some of the messages were sent to around 100 people, therefore the scope of the leak remains unknown. “It surely did not leak on the morning of 5th, it leaked sometime before the night of 4th May,’ Hegde states, adding that the CBI inquiry is not limited to Patna but extends across other states.

–– How were the answer sheets evaluated without the answer key?
–– How many students were awarded marks for the Canara Bank paper?

According to Hooda, there is no protocol defined by the NTA for the collection and sealing of the OMR sheets. ‘What is the time when the OMR sheet is to be sealed? It is not mentioned. It keeps lying in the Centre. If 5.20 the OMR sheets are collected, they have to be selaed at 5.30,’ says Adv Hooda. He also added that he was unable to locate the appropriate sealing time in the NTA’s SoP.
