Cracking the Code: Maharashtra Coaching Center Founder Arrested in NEET Paper Leak Scandal

The CBI has arrested Shivraj Raghunath Motegaonkar, founder of a coaching centre in Latur, Maharashtra, for involvement in the NEET-UG paper leak. The leak, which occurred before the May 3 exam, involved distributing handwritten copies of questions to students. Investigators found matching questions in his premises, leading to his arrest.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has detained Shivraj Raghunath Motegaonkar, founder of the Renukai Chemistry Classes in Latur, Maharashtra, in connection with the NEET-UG paper leak scandal, officials revealed on Monday.

The arrest came after a leaked exam paper was reportedly found on Motegaonkar's mobile phone during a raid. Motegaonkar, accused of being a key player in an organized group responsible for leaking the exam materials, supposedly received the questions 10 days ahead of the exam held on May 3.

The scandal led to raids across multiple locations, resulting in the seizure of incriminating documents and digital devices. As the investigation continues, the CBI aims to uncover the full extent of the network behind the leak that necessitated the cancellation of the examination.
