Telangana CID today registered an FIR in connection with the alleged leak of the Medical EAMCET-2 question paper.
CID found in its preliminary inquiry that there was prima facie a case for registering an FIR.
"We have got some clues. We found out some prima facie signs of malpractice. We are trying to find out what exactly happened," a senior CID officer told PTI.
