NEET paper leaked from NTA itself!

• Revealed during the investigation by the Central Crime Investigation Department!

• Prof. Shivraj Motegaonkar committed the act due to excessive greed for money.

• P V Kulkarni leaked 132 questions

Mumbai – Professor Shivraj Motegaonkar, the mastermind behind the paper leak who runs the ‘Renukai Chemistry Coaching Classes’ had fixed his people on the question paper setting committee of the National Testing Agency (NTA) out of his excessive greed for money. This has been revealed in the investigations conducted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Prof P V Kulkarni who teaches in his coaching class and Prof Manisha Mandhare, a professor of Biology in Modern College were fitted by him in the main committee. Being a subject matter expert in NTA  since the last five years she had all the information about the office.

Kulkarni and Mandhare learnt the questions by heart out of the fear of getting caught for leaking the information from exam centre. After coming out they wrote the questions on small pieces of paper and handed them over to Prof Motegaonkar who created a pdf of the hand-written questions and sold it on Telegram for crores of rupees. On the 3rd of May, immediately after the exam was completed, he deleted all the information from his cell-phone to destroy the evidence; however, CBI’s cyber experts obtained the information and arrested Motegaonkar.

Four sets of question papers are prepared for the NEET examination. The task of translating three of these sets was with Prof Kulkarni. He had the information of  total of 135 questions. He stole 132 out of the 135 questions and gave them to Motegaonkar. Kulkarni had given those questions orally and Motegaonkar had written them down.

The interrogation of Shubham Khairnar arrested in this NEET paper leak case revealed several names and the CBI has served notices to many famous coaching classes and educational institutes in Nasik.
