On March 26, reports of exam papers being leaked of The Central Board of Secondary Education examination had shocked the nation.

The minister spoke to the media and said, “CBSE will put in place stronger mechanism to ensure no further paper leak happens. The people or gang responsible for this would be brought to book.” He also added that only few schools in Delhi have been reported to be involved in the paper leaks.
