Ramesh Kumar and Dayakar, two agents believed to have been connected to EAMCET paper-II leakage, were grilled by the Telangana Crime Investigation Department (CID) officials on Tuesday but no clarity emerged on the persons behind it.

Unlike medical PG course entrance test fraud busted three years ago, investigators could not act tough with the candidates who are mostly teenagers. In medical PG entrance test scam, the suspects were adults and mostly practising doctors.

“In present case, medical seat aspirants were not the only party to the alleged leakage but their parents and brokers were equally or rather more responsible,” observed a police officer. Though suspicions arose over some students, most of whom just or a year ago completed their intermediate course, and their performance in the test, investigators couldn't directly question them considering their age.

Each of CID teams was pursuing different angle. The extent and role of agents offering help in securing seats in private medical colleges under different categories is being probed. Persons connected to the press where the paper was printed were thoroughly questioned.“It is confirmed that some of the students who performed unusually well were surely kept at a secluded place and tutored for days ,” say police sources.
