CBI arrested physics teacher Tejas Shah in the NEET UG paper leak case, alleging he received leaked physics questions from senior faculty Manisha Havaldar. The coaching institute claims the interaction was personal and ₹20,000 was paid as consultancy fee. The probe continues with 13 arrests across multiple cities after NTA cancelled the exam and scheduled a re-test.
Pune: A director of a local coaching centre on Wednesday claimed Tejas Shah, a physics teacher arrested by the CBI probing the NEET UG paper leak case, had contacted Manisha Havaldar, a senior physics faculty and an accused, to seek clarification on certain topics in his individual capacity.
The CBI on Tuesday arrested Shah, a physics teacher at Dr Abhang Prabhu Medical Academy (APMA).
According to the investigating agency, Shah allegedly received leaked physics questions from Havaldar, who has been arrested.
"Tejas Shah is a junior physics faculty member at the institute. He had approached Havaldar, a senior faculty member, in his individual capacity to seek clarification on certain topics in physics, including whether some chapters were part of the NEET syllabus," Prof Sachin Haldavnekar, one of the directors of the academy, told reporters.
