Court Permits CBI to Collect More Handwriting Samples in NEET UG 2026 Leak Case
The Rouse Avenue court has permitted the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to collect additional handwriting samples from Manisha Sanjay Havaldar, arrested in connection with the NEET UG 2026 paper leak case. The CBI seeks more specimens due to insufficient samples for forensic comparison. Havaldar is accused of sharing handwritten physics questions with co-accused Manisha Mandhare, whose phone contained images of the leaked questions. Protests against the leak continue at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar.
