In a fresh twist in the ongoing CBI probe into the paper leak row that led to the 2026 NEET exam cancellation, the agency arrested P.V. Kulkarni, a retired chemistry professor from Maharashtra's Latur.
Calling him the "kingpin" behind the NEET scam, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has pointed out that Kulkarni had a direct role in the scam because he was allegedly involved in the examination process on behalf of the National Testing Agency (NTA).
The retired professor was a chemistry subject expert, and was questioned by the CBI over his alleged role in setting NEET question papers, as per a Lokmat report.
However, THE WEEK could not independently confirm whether he had been tasked with setting this year's paper.
(More details are awaited.)
