Ara : A four- member team of CID, Telangana, led by the Inspector Ajay Kumar Reddy reached Ara on December 26 for the second time in connection with Telangana medical entrance examination paper leakage and conducted raids in several areas under Town and Nawada police stations, Ara, to arrest the owner of a photostate shop. The team, however, failed to locate him.

The Telangana CID team is still camping at Ara. Earlier, the CID had visited Bhojpur district on December 23, 2016, and had conducted raid at Narahi village under Chandi police station and arrested Mithilesh Kumar Singh alias Babar, son of Lalit Singh of Pasaru village under Charpokhari police station, where he had taken shelter at the house of a police sub-inspector and his uncle (Fufa), Ramakant Singh, and took him to Hyderabad.

Mithilesh had leaked papers of medical entrance examination at Telangana in June this year and escaped from the scene. He is said to be a member of an inter-state gang involved in leaking of question papers of various examinations. Rajasthan police had arrested Mithlesh Kumar Singh from Narahi village under Chandi police station in 2014 in connection with paper leak of Rajasthan Public Service Commission along with a luxurious four wheeler from the house of his Fufa and had sent him to jail but after his release from the jail, he once again became active.

During interrogation, Mithilesh Kumar Singh disclosed before the CID at Hyderabad that he got the Xerox copies of medical entrance examination question papers at Ara. After that the SP, CID, Telangana, sent a team to Ara to arrest the owner of the Photostat shop.
