"The board has decided to take strict action against such activities. An FIR is being lodged," the official said.
Police officials, however, said they have not received any complaint yet.
Sisodia, however, asked the CBSE to take a swift action, and said that if a particular centre is at mistake, then all the students should not be affected because of it.
He tweeted, "CBSE is one of the most reputed organizations. I'm sure they will take swift action and try to find out how the paper reached whatsApp right before the exam. If a particular center is at fault then let not all the students suffer."
