While the MBA industry has been abuzz about the CAT 2016 paper leak, PaGaLGuY managed to speak to the person who social media is holding responsible for the state of affairs.

Q) Were you allowed to complete the paper?
A) Yes I completed the paper.
Q) So, did the IIM Bangalore Convenor office get in touch with you immediately or post the exam—to inquire if it was you to blame or that your account was hacked ?
