“We have been unable to identify any singular source of the leak. We have found that it was leaked in Bengaluru, Mysuru, Kalaburagi, and Shivamogga. We suspect that the teachers forwarded it to the students in an attempt to get them to pass… But later, the students sold the same question paper to their classmates and on Telegram and other platforms for Rs 300-500”
