11 more arrested in exam paper leak case in Andhra

Hyderabad:  Eleven more people, including three brokers and eight candidates, were arrested on Tuesday for their alleged role in irregularities in PG Medical Entrance Test conducted by Vijayawada-based Dr NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS),

Later, he allegedly inducted his associate, one Praveen, into the press as a casual labourer through one Shalimar Agencies in November 2013, after which they managed to get the PGMET-2014 question paper on February 18.

As per Ahmed's plan, Praveen stole the question paper from the printing press, by concealing it in his undergarments, CID officials said, adding that both Ahmed and Praveen were among the brokers already arrested.

Earlier, the CID had submitted a report to Andhra Pradesh Governor ESL Narasimhan about its findings.

On April 2, the AP governor cancelled the scam-ridden PG medical entrance test conducted by NTRUHS on March 2.

Around 15,000 students had appeared for examinations held on March 2 for 2,240 odd medical seats.

However, hundreds of students had complained that some candidates had secured top ranks though they had failed in some subjects during graduation and some others had performed poorly in PG entrance exams in other states.
