Kerala HC Directs Accused In Question Paper Leak Case To Appear Before Police To Record Statement, Protects Him From Arrest Till February 25

The Kerala High Court has directed the CEO and Founder of M S Solutions– Shuhaib who is accused of leaking Class 10 Question Papers through his YouTube channel, to appear before the police on February 22. 

Justice P. V. Kunhikrishnan further directed the investigating officer to record his statement and submit a report before the Court. It said the petitioner shall not be arrested till next Tuesday (February 25).

The high court orally remarked that there is a need to rule out the doubts in the mind of the students.“The student community is apprehensive that something happened. It should be ruled out. For that, an investigation is necessary," it said.

The court was considering Suhaib's anticipatory bail petition where he has claimed that he had only predicted probable questions. A case is registered against the petitioner by the Crime Branch, Trivandrum. The petitioner's bail petition was earlier rejected by the Kozhikode Session Court.
