Student, father in A/L paper leak remanded

A 19-year-old student who was arrested for allegedly leaking this year's GCE Advanced Level Chemistry paper to a tuition master has been remanded in custody till August 30 by the Gampaha Chief Magistrate. The student's father, who was arrested for allegedly aiding the crime, has also been remanded till August 30.

Police said that the father of the student suspect is a doctor attached to the Police Hospital.

It is alleged that the student used an electronic device smuggled into the examination hall to leak questions of the paper to the tuition master while the exam was ongoing, in return for answers to the questions. 

Two other suspects were earlier arrested in connection with the scam. However, the main suspect tuition master has fled the area and has so far evaded arrest.
