The Karachi police on Monday arrested four members of an organised network involved in leaking Matric and Intermediate Board examination papers, collecting millions of rupees from students in exchange.
The Karachi police chief had assigned the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) the task of tracing the network, which comprised 10 groups that leaked exam papers to students via WhatsApp a night before the examinations.
SIU Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Samiullah Soomro, said complaints of online fraud had been received for some time. The leaked papers, he noted, were 70% to 90% accurate. He said the arrested individuals had initially created eight WhatsApp groups, adding over 1,300 students. Members were informed the night before an exam that the paper had been leaked and was available with the admin, with interested students directed to contact them via direct message to obtain the paper.
