The investigation into the NEET paper leak case has broadened to Maharashtra’s Nanded district, with the CBI conducting surprise operations as part of its crackdown on the alleged examination scam. A CBI team carried out extensive searches at the residence of the Kadam family, suspected of purchasing the leaked NEET paper for their daughter by paying Rs 5 lakh. The agency also raided the flat of Ashwini Bhaurao Kadam in the Vidyutnagar locality, scrutinizing documents and materials during the operation.
In a significant development, a separate CBI team searched the office linked to accused Shubham Khairnar in Nanded and questioned family members regarding their alleged involvement in the paper leak network. Investigators are looking into financial transactions, coaching institute connections, and the role of intermediaries in facilitating the leak across multiple districts and states. The intensified nationwide investigation follows allegations of questions being circulated before the NEET exam, triggering a massive controversy.
