In a significant development in the NEET-UG 2026 examination paper leak case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Manisha Sanjay Havaldar in Pune. Havaldar, employed at Seth Hiralal Saraf Prashala, was appointed by the National Testing Agency (NTA) as an expert for the examination. Authorities allege that she had access to the Physics question paper and leaked several questions prior to the exam. The CBI believes that Havaldar worked in coordination with another accused, Manisha Mathare, who has also been arrested. During the investigation, officials matched the leaked questions with the actual NEET examination paper, confirming that the same questions appeared in the exam. With Havaldar's arrest, the total number of individuals apprehended in this case has now reached 11. The CBI's investigation has extended across multiple cities, including Delhi, Jaipur, Gurugram, Nashik, Pune, Latur, and Ahilyanagar, as they continue to probe into the broader network connected to the alleged leak.
