AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The Central Bureau of Investigation has expanded its probe into the alleged widespread leak of the NEET‑UG 2026 exam paper, interrogating education‑consultancy operator Shubham Khairnar, suspended junior‑college teacher Manisha Mandhare, beauty‑parlour owner Manisha Waghmare and a Latur‑based paediatrician accused of obtaining the paper for his child through a retired chemistry lecturer identified as the leak’s source. Investigators say Khairnar may have acted as a conduit between aspirants and the leak network, while Mandhare and Waghmare are being questioned about how the papers were sourced, circulated and routed to candidates. The CBI is tracing money flows, digital communications and intermediary chains, and has also questioned several parents—some medical practitioners—who are suspected of paying large sums for advance access. The National Testing Agency, which told a parliamentary panel that its system was not compromised, has cancelled the exam after allegations of malpractice, while the CBI continues to gather evidence to present a conclusive finding.
