Overview
- A Delhi court on Friday reserved its order on Manisha Sanjay Waghmare’s bail plea until June 9 and a Rouse Avenue judge extended accused Shubham Khairnar’s judicial custody until June 15.
- The CBI alleges a chain in which retired teacher Prahlad Kulkarni passed the leaked NEET‑UG paper to Waghmare, who then shared it with Pune intermediaries and students in exchange for money.
- Investigators say they have arrested 13 people so far and have collected student statements and bank transaction records as evidence while seeking custodial interrogation to identify other beneficiaries.
- The original NEET‑UG test held on May 3 was cancelled on May 12 and the Union Education Ministry has scheduled a re‑examination for June 21 with strengthened security and streamlined re‑registration for candidates.
- Waghmare’s defence says no incriminating material or cash was found at her home and cites vertigo and contested custody legality, and the coming court orders will shape further interrogations and public confidence in the re‑exam.
