The question paper was leaked while being transported from Ranchi to the strong room in Giridih, DGP Anurag Gupta said. "The leak originated in Giridih, where an individual used a blade to cut open the sealed question paper packet, made a PDF copy, and circulated it online," he said. "The prime conspirator has been arrested, and interrogation is underway," Gupta said.
