However, the Union Human Resource Development Minister said, in a written reply to Lok Sabha said, “There have been newspaper reports on the issue during the Board exam of 2016. A committee of subject experts was constituted to enquire into this issue, and the committee concluded that there was no leakage of question paper,” Irani said
