The group has about 55 members. The police said it seemed that Dahiya and manjeet were involved in this case. Dahiya struck a deal with many other candidates, five of which have been identified, for Rs 2 lakh each to share the answer key with them.

The SIT in charge said Dahiya’s arrest was a major breakthrough towards solving the case, but they were still searching for three main accused Rajender Randhawa, who was the centre in charge in the Indian Modern Senior Secondary School in Sonepat, which was suspected to be the origin of the paper leak, and two JBT teachers Pawan and Ajay, both brothers, who were still absconding.

Once we are able to trace all these persons, action will be taken against them”.
