New Delhi, November 27
The police has arrested one more person in connection with the leakage of common admission test (CAT) paper for Indian Institutes of Management, raising to the number of persons arrested by it in the case to five.
Rajiv Gupta, who hails from Patna, was arrested from the East Delhi area today by the Crime Branch’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Dinesh Bhatt said.
Mr Bhatt said he was allegedly responsible for luring candidates to buy the question papers.
He used to operate under several assumed names like Rajiv Saxena and Rajesh while dealing with prospective candidates, the DCP said, adding that he was the one who was directing Rajesh Suchand over mobile phone when a policeman nabbed Suchand and three others using a decoy on Saturday night.
Gupta has claimed that he was a B.Tech student in a Delhi college but investigations are on to ascertain his background.
He was produced before a local court which remanded him in police remand till December 4.
The EOW DCP said more arrests were likely as raids were being conducted at various places in the country.
The police also secured the remand of three other accused — Bharat Bhushan, Arvind Kumar and Rahul — for their further interrogation. They were arrested when Economic Offences Wing sleuths raided a hotel in Mahipalpur on the Delhi-Gurgaon road on last Saturday night, hours before the CAT examination. —
