A Delhi court sent NEET-UG 2026 paper leak accused Manisha Gurunath Mandhare to 14-day CBI custody. The Pune-based NTA-appointed Botany expert allegedly leaked Biology questions through special coaching classes with middlemen. CBI said many questions matched the cancelled May 3 exam paper. Nine accused have been arrested so far in the nationwide probe.
New Delhi: A Delhi court on Sunday sent NEET paper leak accused Manisha Gurunath Mandhare to a 14-day custody of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Manisha Gurunath Mandhare, an NTA-appointed senior Botany teacher from Pune, is suspected to be the co-mastermind behind the leak of the Biology question paper. Chemistry professor P.V. Kulkarini is being considered the "kingpin" of the paper leak.
During the proceedings in the Rouse Avenue Court, the CBI told the bench that Manisha Mandhare was an expert in translating botany and zoology question papers.
"Manisha was in conspiracy with P.V. Kulkarni and Manisha Waghmare. She gave the question paper to another accused, Shubham. Simultaneous investigations are going on across the country. We need to take her to different parts of the country for the purpose of investigation," the CBI said.
