The Bengaluru cybercrime police issued a notice to a Kannada news portal, the File, last week asking it to reveal the source of a document that it had reported on last year.
According to the Hindu, the document was in connection with the “leak of an e-office file noting” of the state education department. The File had reported on the document’s contents, and published a photo of it, in November last year. The File’s story was a follow-up to the police arresting 60 people in September over a teacher recruitment scam.
