NEET-UG 2026 Paper Leak: CBI Arrests Deepen Probe | Political Row Escalates | News9

The NEET-UG 2026 paper leak investigation is intensifying as the CBI makes fresh arrests and expands its probe into an alleged organised leak network. Pune-based biology lecturer Manisha Gurunath Mandhare has been arrested for her alleged role in the case. Investigators claim she was involved in the NTA paper-setting process and had access to Botany and Zoology questions that appeared in the exam. She is accused of conducting coaching sessions at her residence where students were allegedly guided to mark key questions and prepare from selected material ahead of the exam. The agency also alleges that lakhs of rupees were collected from students through intermediaries in exchange for leaked papers. Meanwhile, a Delhi court has granted CBI custody of multiple accused as interrogation continues, while search operations are underway to trace the money trail and wider distribution network. The case has also triggered a political storm, with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accusing the Centre of failing NEET aspirants and demanding accountability. #neet #neetug #cbiaction #paperleak #educationnews #rahulgandhi #indiastudents #examfraud #nta #india #breakingnews #medicalexam #educationreform #delhi #pune #courtnews #studentcrisis #educationscam #news #politics ..............................................................................................
