Terrifying nationwide network of the NEET paper leak including Latur, Pune

  • Many modern doctors and ultra-rich parents involved along with the main mastermind

  • Question papers sold for ₹10 lakh; black market worth crores of rupees exposed

Mumbai – Investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation has revealed that the network of the NEET paper leak case has spread across several cities in the country, including Latur, Pune, Nanded, Nashik, Washim, Jaipur in Rajasthan and Gurugram in Haryana. Information has emerged that the main mastermind behind the entire scam was Prof. P.V. Kulkarni, a retired Chemistry professor from Dayanand College in Latur and a resident of Pune.

He was a member of the highly confidential question paper preparation panel of the National Testing Agency. He misused this position and the confidentiality attached to it. In this matter, Shubham Khairnar from Nashik, Yash Yadav from Gurugram, and Mangi Lal Bival, Vikas Bival and Dinesh Bival from Jaipur have been arrested.

Sequence of the paper leak scam is as follows

1. Prof. Kulkarni conducted unofficial and secret coaching sessions at his residence in Pune. There, selected students were given question papers and answer options and made to memorise the answers. Since the same questions appeared in the examination held on 3rd May, the racket was exposed.

2. Through Telegram and WhatsApp, students and parents were lured with offers of “free mock test papers” and study material. After gaining the trust of parents, wealthy families were specifically targeted.

3. One parent allegedly purchased the question paper for ₹10 lakh. To recover the money, that parent sold the same question paper to 2 other parents for ₹5 lakh each.

4. Two days before the examination, secret meetings were allegedly held at luxurious restaurants in Latur and Pune, where parents’ mobile phones were confiscated and they were shown the question papers and answers.

5. A large chain involving teachers, middlemen, modern doctors and ultra-wealthy parents was active in this black-market network.

6. A woman named Manisha Waghmare identified wealthy clients. Instead of sharing the complete paper at once, the accused leaked it subject-wise in fragments.

7. Renowned modern doctors from Washim and ultra-wealthy parents from Nanded have reportedly switched off their mobile phones and absconded out of fear of investigation.

Editorial Perspective

  • This is a glaring example of the collapse of morality in society! Such scams are occurring in an education sector where morality has been lost due to material progress and obsession with money. Because of the excessive insistence that “scoring marks in examinations is everything”, parents and teachers are abandoning moral values.
  • There is now strong expectation among the ordinary people that these ultra-wealthy accused should be firmly dealt with and denied bail, regardless of how much money they may offer!
  • Countless honest students study day and night and appear for examinations sincerely; however, such malpractices damage their academic future. The Government must establish a system to hold the responsible individuals accountable for this harm!
