The CBI on Saturday arrested a biology lecturer who was part of the National Testing Agency’s (NTA) paper-setting committee for NEET-UG held on May 3, officials said. The arrest was made on the basis of questioning of alleged kingpin PV Kulkarni and other accused in the paper leak case.

“The biology lecturer Manisha Mandhare was arrested after being questioned by the agency. She was allegedly involved in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) examination process and was appointed by the NTA as an expert. Mandhare had complete access to the Botany and Zoology question papers,” a CBI spokesperson said.
