The Maharashtra TET 2026 paper leak investigation revealed that question papers were allegedly smuggled out of an Agra printing press by hiding them inside a worker’s shoe. Police are probing a network accused of selling papers through coaching channels.
Mumbai: The Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) 2026 question paper was allegedly smuggled out of a confidential printing press in Agra by hiding folded copies inside a worker's shoe, according to an investigation by The Indian Express.
The report said the employees involved were allegedly paid just ₹8,000 each to leak papers for an examination meant for over six lakh teacher aspirants.
More than six lakh candidates were scheduled to appear for the June 28 exam at 1,028 centres across Maharashtra. According to The Indian Express, the papers were printed at Agra-based Mahim Patran Pvt Ltd, whose identity was known only to the head of the Maharashtra State Council of Examination (MSCE) as part of a long-standing security protocol. The state has traditionally printed confidential question papers outside Maharashtra to maintain secrecy.
