CBI Advances NEET Paper Leak Investigations, Collects Handwriting Samples, Clears Suspect
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is advancing its probe into the NEET-UG 2024 and 2026 paper leak cases. A Delhi court has permitted the CBI to collect additional handwriting samples from accused Manisha Sanjay Havaldar to aid forensic analysis. Meanwhile, the CBI is expected to file a chargesheet soon against retired professor PV Kulkarni and others for the 2026 leak. In the 2024 case, the CBI found no evidence implicating Sanjeev Kumar alias Sanjeev Mukhiya, clearing him of involvement after a detailed investigation identifying all conspirators and beneficiaries.
