Bhopal, Aug 25 - A man who allegedly leaked a question paper of the Madhya Pradesh Professional Exam Board has been arrested, police said Tuesday.

'Shashi Gurjal, the main accused in the paper leak case, was arrested from Dayoday Express, by which he was travelling, on Bina railway station late Monday,' Inspector General of Police (Sagar range) Anvesh Manglam told IANS.

'The police on a tip-off searched the train and arrested the man with two women. Several mobile phones, SIM cards, ATM cards and Rs.250,000 have been recovered from him,' he said.

Bhopal police Sunday arrested a dozen people in connection with the leak of a question paper of the Junior Data Entry Operator Exam conducted by the Madhya Pradesh Professional Exam Board (PEB).

The PEB selection test conducted Sunday for posts of Data Entry Operators in the Office of the Commissioner of Land Records, Gwalior Division, was cancelled after it was known that the question paper was leaked. Over 21,000 candidates had appeared for the selection test.

'The question paper seized from the accused on the eve of the examination was exactly similar to the one that was set for the exam,' a police officer said.
