Two persons allegedly involved in the Gujarat panchayat junior clerk exam paper leak were held from Kolkata in West Bengal and brought here on Friday, taking the total number of arrests in the case to 19, an official said.
The exam, scheduled for January 29, was postponed after the leak came to light following a raid by the Gujarat Anti Terrorist Squad on a computer centre in Vadodara at around 1:30 am that day. Fifteen persons were held at the time.
As per the ATS, the two, who are natives of Bihar living in Vadodara currently, are kingpins in the case.
While 15 persons were held during the raid on the computer centre, a staffer of a printing press in Hyderabad in Telangana, which was given the contract by the Gujarat government to print the exam papers, was held soon after. The seventeenth accused was held in Odisha. Most of the accused are engaged in the business of education consultancy, as per the police.
