The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a doctor from Latur and a physics faculty member of a coaching institute in Pune in connection with the NEET-UG paper leak case, officials said on Wednesday.
According to officials, the agency arrested Manoj Shirure for allegedly playing a key role in helping three students obtain chemistry questions from NEET paper setter P V Kulkarni before the examination.
Investigators said the students included the son of Shivraj Motegaonkar, founder of Renukai Career Centre (RCC). Motegaonkar was recently arrested by the CBI as part of the ongoing investigation.
The agency is probing alleged irregularities and organised cheating linked to the NEET-UG examination, one of the country’s largest medical entrance tests.
