CAT papers leaked, nation wide racket busted, exams cancelled Nov 23, 2003 05:29:00 PM .NEWDEL DEL62 New Delhi, Nov 23 (PTI) A nation-wide racket in leakage of question papers involving crores of rupees was today busted with the arrest of four persons here leading to cancellation of the Combined Admission Test (CAT) for Indian Institutes of Management in which about 1.3 lakh students appeared across the country. The CBI, on a tip off, arrested four persons, including three doctors from Bihar, from a hotel in Mahipalpur area of South West Delhi, while they were allegedly giving out questions along with answers of CAT to four candidates. They said raids were on at five places in Patna in search for the kingpin who runs a pharmaceutical company in Mumbai. The CBI said the papers seized from the four arrested persons matched with the original as all 150 questions were found to be the same. Shortly after busting of the racket, Union Human Resource Development Ministry contacted authorities at IIM, Ahmedabad, the coordinating body for the all India exams, and cancelled the examination. "Once we got the information that the paper has indeed leaked, I ordered that the examination be cancelled. There should not be a feeling among the students that the tests are unfair", HRD Minister M M Joshi told reporters. CBI claimed the gang, whose kingpin was one Ranjit Singh alias Ranjit Don, had been selling the papers for Rs two to Rs four lakhs and was involved in leakage of other papers like All India Medical Exams, CBSE pre-medical and Bank Probationary Officers.
