The latest action is related to the same ‘Shambhu Palace’ girls hostel in Patna, where the student accused of paper leak was staying. CBI raided the hostel and seized the student’s personal belongings and her brother’s mobile phone. It is believed that the data of this mobile can expose the big network of Solver Gang.
