All for a dose Two of the arrested have been identified as Vikram Sharma (18) and Aaquib Shaikh (19). Sharma used to work in a BPO, and later, at an Airtel gallery in Borivli, while Shaikh was in his FYBCom at a Kandivli college. The other two are school students. They are all drugs addicts, who wanted to sell the papers and fund their habit. However, according to the police, the accused didn&rsquo;t know that they had stolen unchecked papers. When they realised that, they panicked and returned to the school to keep them back, but later, got scared of encountering the principal and left with the bundles. Later that night, they went to the national park and hid them.

DCP Kiran Kumar Chauhan said, "We have recovered two bundles, that had 330 answer sheets in all &mdash; history (149) and Sanskrit (181). Science answer sheets (150) are yet to be found."
