The Central Crime Branch sleuths probing the leak of teachers’ entrance test question papers are said to have gathered vital clues about the prime accused.

It has come to light that Shivakumar, the prime accused, stayed at a lodge close to the office of the deputy commissioner on June 21. He had taken a room on rent, furnishing false name and address, sources said.
