Five people have been arrested, so far, in an SSC paper leak in Maharashtra’s Thane district, Bhiwandi. According to the police, among those arrested are two private coaching class owners while the other two involved are on a run, an official said.

Around a dozen students, including ten girls, who got the leaked papers on WhatsApp are also being interrogated,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Bhiwandi) Ankit Goyal told PTI Sunday.
