The boy, who is a private candidate, was appearing for the revised course exam. He was initially caught copying by the supervisor, who later frisked him and found one copy of the Algebra question paper set with him. Soon after, the boy was handed over to the Kandivali police station.
The Board Chairman Laxmikant Pandey was also informed about the incident and was called to inquire into the matter. The principal of the school S Kumbhar and other chief conductor and invigilators filed a police complaint.
