The CBI arrested PV Kulkarni, the alleged mastermind behind the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case. Investigators said Kulkarni, linked to the exam process through the National Testing Agency, allegedly shared questions with students in Pune before the exam. Seven accused have been arrested so far from multiple cities across India.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday arrested PV Kulkarni, the alleged kingpin in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case.
Kulkarni was allegedly involved in conducting the examination on behalf of the National Testing Agency and, by virtue of that role, had access to the question papers before the examination, according to news agency ANI.
According to reports, during the last week of April, Kulkarni allegedly gathered a group of students at his residence in Pune with the assistance of co-accused Manisha Waghmare, who was arrested by the CBI on May 14. During these special coaching sessions, Kulkarni allegedly dictated examination questions, answer options, and correct answers to the students, who copied them by hand into their notebooks.
The CBI has confirmed that the handwritten notes exactly matched the actual NEET-UG 2026 question paper for the examination conducted on May 3.
