In Pune, the police arrested two brothers raising the total number of people booked there so far to seven. With this, the total number of arrests in the country wide racket went upto 15.
CBI director P C Sharma told here that he did not rule out the possibility of the agency probing the role of four persons in possible leakage of previous entrance examination papers.
