NEET Question Paper Leak: 4 Including 2 Teachers Arrested in Maharashtra

Mumbai: Four persons including two teachers were arrested by Maharashtra Police on Sunday in connection with the alleged question paper leak in the NEET-UG medical entrance exam, reported India Today.

The Nanded Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) detained two teachers from Latur, Sanjay Tukaram Jadhav and Jalil Umarkhan Pathan, on suspicion of involvement in the scam on Saturday. They were interrogated and released on Sunday morning. But later they were arrested along with two others, Iranna Mashnaji Kongalwar of Dharashiv district and a Delhi inhabitant named Gangadhar.

The ATS investigation revealed suspicious messages related to exam hall tickets and financial transactions on the phones of the arrested persons.

The investigation suggests that Jadhav might have passed on the hall ticket details to Kongalwar, who then forwarded them to Gangadhar in Delhi, suspected to be the mastermind behind the leak.
