The CBI says the leak moved through Telegram and WhatsApp, and charges 13 accused after forensic checks linked seized devices to the exam paper.

- The case is scheduled for hearing before Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on August 10, with charges filed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Prevention of Corruption Act.
