A Delhi court on Tuesday dismissed the bail plea of Manisha Waghmare, an accused in the National Eligibility Entrance Test (Undergraduate) 2026 paper leak case being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The order was passed by the Rouse Avenue Court after hearing arguments from both sides.

During the hearing, Waghmare’s counsel submitted that she is a certified education counsellor and earns a regular income through counselling services. The defence argued that the CBI’s allegation regarding a financial transaction was misconceived, stating that around Rs 3.5 lakh credited to her account had come from the execution of a gift deed related to ancestral property.
