It is clear that the paper has been leaked

The country's Supreme Court had also said during the hearing that it is clear that the paper has been leaked. The government should tell how it will identify the beneficiaries of the paper leak. On the questions of the court, the SG had said that we have taken every possible step. Investigation is going on. FIRs have been registered in 6 states.

Recently, the central government had also filed an affidavit in this matter. The government had told the Supreme Court that until it is proved that the paper has been leaked across India, it does not want to cancel the examination because the results have been declared.
