Bhiwandi: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (TET)-2026 paper leak has made another significant breakthrough with the arrest of Suman Kumari Gupta (35), wife of alleged mastermind Bijender Gupta from Patna, Bihar. Investigators believe her arrest could prove crucial in unraveling the financial and operational network behind the suspected interstate examination racket as the probe expands beyond the leaked question papers to digital evidence, banking transactions and the alleged syndicate's wider links across multiple states.

According to police sources Suman Kumari Gupta is the first woman to be arrested in connection with the high-profile examination leak case. She was apprehended by the SIT with assistance from the Patna Police during a raid at her residence on Bhootnath Road in Patna on June 29 after investigators allegedly received fresh leads during the custodial interrogation of previously arrested accused Rajeev.

Following her arrest she was brought to Bhiwandi and produced before the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) S. M. Sutar on Tuesday.

Seeking her custodial interrogation the prosecution informed the court that Suman Kumari Gupta is the wife of absconding accused Bijender Gupta and that the arrested accused had disclosed her alleged knowledge of the paper leak conspiracy. Investigators further submitted that preliminary scrutiny of financial transactions and bank records had revealed important leads requiring detailed investigation.
