Thane: The investigation into the alleged Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (TET)-2026 question paper leak has gathered fresh momentum, with investigators expanding the probe to the printing stage of the examination process. In a major breakthrough, the Maharashtra Police's Special Investigation Team (SIT), in coordination with the Bihar Special Task Force (STF), has arrested three individuals linked to the Agra-based printing press where the confidential examination papers were printed.

With the latest arrests, the total number of accused held in the case has risen to 10, including the wife of the alleged mastermind, while investigators believe the interstate paper leak network is far larger and that more arrests are likely in the coming days.

According to investigators, two current employees and one former employee of Mahim Patram Printing Press in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, have been arrested for their alleged role in facilitating the leakage of confidential question papers before the examination.

The arrested accused have been identified as Naresh Kumar, Sanjay Kumar Chandra, and Babulal Kushwaha. Investigating agencies suspect that the trio played a key role in illegally taking the highly confidential question papers out of the printing facility, enabling them to reach members of the leak syndicate.
