Shivraj Motegaonkar, the founder of one of Maharashtra's most prominent medical and engineering coaching centres, has become the tenth person to be arrested by the CBI in connection with the NEET paper leak row.
Famously known as 'M Sir', he was arrested from his residence at Omkar Residency in the Shivnagar area of Latur, after one of his videos went viral on social media.
In the short clip, 'M Sir' is seen asking some students about the now-cancelled May 3 NEET exam.
"Sir, the 101 questions you gave are exactly the same questions that appeared in the main exam," a student replied to him in the video.
Originally intended as a promotional video for his Renukai Career Centre (RCC) and its mock tests, the video is now likely to become an important piece of evidence for the CBI investigation into Motegaonkar.
However, it was not the video that led to the RCC founder's arrest, but multiple rounds of raids and questioning since Friday, said to have exposed his links to the NEET 2026 paper leak row.
The CBI probe has so far found that he had the NEET question paper on his phone, which he had received on April 23—10 days before the the May 3 exam, which has now been rescheduled for June 21.
(More details are awaited.)
