In a significant development in the Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) paper leak case, Bijendra Gupta, the alleged mastermind of the racket, was apprehended in Bihar. Another suspect, Indrajeet Singh, was also captured during the operation. The arrests were carried out by a special team of the Bhiwandi Police after a targeted operation in Bihar.
Bijendra Gupta had managed to evade capture despite extensive search efforts by investigating agencies. Acting on specific intelligence, the Bhiwandi Police located and arrested both suspects in Bihar. This arrest is seen as a crucial step in the investigation into the alleged examination fraud.
Officials flew Bijendra Gupta from Bihar to Pune Airport under tight security measures. He is now being escorted to Bhiwandi for further legal proceedings. Custodial interrogation of Gupta is expected to provide vital insights into the paper leak network’s operations and help identify other individuals involved.
Authorities consider Bijendra Gupta a key figure in the suspected paper leak syndicate. The investigation aims to uncover the planning and execution of the alleged fraud, the network’s structure, and potential links to other individuals. Financial aspects of the racket, including fund movements and operational channels, are also under scrutiny.
