Doors of the school room and almirah, where the question papers had been kept in sealed packets, were found broken.
Police has registered a case in this connection and started investigation but there was no breakthrough so far. There was no watchman in the school, where the theft took place.
“Though it was not ascertained, how many papers have been stolen, no risk can be taken over the secrecy of exams and therefore new sets of question papers are being printed,” Dr Nutan said.
