New Delhi. Taking major action, the CBI, which is investigating the NEET UG 2026 paper leak case, has arrested Manisha Gurunath Mandhare, a Botany professor from Pune, from Delhi. According to CBI, Manisha Gurunath Mandhare was appointed by the National Testing Agency (NTA) as an expert in the NEET UG 2026 exam process. It is a very shocking matter that the person appointed by NTA as an expert in the examination process is the same person involved in getting the paper out. Earlier yesterday, PV Kulkarni, a retired chemistry professor, was arrested. In this way, CBI has so far arrested a total of 9 people in this case.

During investigation, CBI has come to know that Manisha Mandhare and PV Kulkarni contacted the students preparing for NEET through Manisha Waghmare, a woman from Pune. Manisha Waghmare collected details of students preparing for NEET and collected money from them. After this, special classes were held for those students at the house of Botany Professor Manisha Mandhare where the students were told the questions which were going to appear in the NEET paper. Professor PV Kulkarni also did similar work. Being an NTA expert, he had easy access to the question papers of his subject and these people leaked the papers.

Manisha Waghmare has already been arrested by CBI. CBI has seized many important documents including Professor Mandhare’s laptop, bank statement, mobile phone which are being investigated. On the other hand, Professor Kulkarni and Manisha Waghmare were produced in Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court for remand. The court has sent both of them on CBI remand for 10 days. CBI is conducting raids at many places across the country to arrest the accused of paper leak.
