The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), which registered the case with the Latur police in connection with the NEET-UG paper leak, has discovered that the accused teachers and other gang members used four different methods to leak the exam papers. The Latur police, investigating the matter, have found incriminating evidence on the accused’s mobile phones. This evidence includes hall ticket details of at least seven to eight students and information about others appearing for various exams. Officials stated that, so far, it appears the accused teachers charged each student R2-3 lakh, depending on their demands and the level of assistance required to pass the exams. According to sources, this gang has been running this syndicate for more than a year.
The Latur police registered an FIR under the relevant sections of the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act and Sections 420 and 120B of the IPC against four individuals, including two Zila Parishad teachers, Jalil Pathan and Sanjay Jadhav, who were questioned by the ATS. The others named in the FIR are ITI instructor Iranna Kongalwar, based in Osmanabad, and a person from Delhi identified as Gangadhar. “The case has been registered based on the complaint given by the ATS, and the matter is being probed further,” said Somay Munde, SP Latur police.
