In addition to paper‑leak allegations, the CID is examining claims of OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) sheet manipulation. Documents seized from Shivangan Ki Pathshala and Megha Coaching Center indicate that answer sheets may have been altered after the exam to favor certain candidates. The investigation aims to identify the individuals who accessed the OMR records, the methods used to modify them, and any financial compensation involved. This line of inquiry also includes a review of the role played by the coaching institutions, middlemen, and the candidates themselves in orchestrating the tampering.
