National, May 18: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested the founder of Renukai Chemistry Classes in Maharashtra’s Latur in connection with the alleged leak of the NEET-UG 2026 question paper, officials said on Monday.
The accused, identified as Shivraj Raghunath Motegaonkar, was taken into custody after investigators reportedly recovered a copy of the alleged leaked medical entrance examination paper from his mobile phone during searches carried out on Sunday.
