The CBSE, however, initially denied any leak and urged students and parents not to panic. Delhi police’s crime branch has already begun investigating the alleged leak.“We have checked with all examination centres and the paper was not leaked. The source of circulation of this information is not known yet. We want to urge the students and parents to not panic and assure them that the board is doing its best to ensure sanctity of the examination,” a senior CBSE official had said.A similar incident occurred on March 15, when the Delhi government had said that it had received complaints of the Class 12 CBSE Accountancy paper being leaked. A probe was later ordered even though the board had denied any leak.HRD minister Prakash Javadekar today said the government was conducting an internal inquiry into reports claiming that the CBSE Class 10 mathematics and Class 12 economics papers had been leaked.He said a new system would be put in place from Monday to ensure no leaks take place.(With inputs from PTI)
