India, May 23 -- Manisha Sanjay Havaldar, principal of Seth Hiralal Saraf Prashala, who was arrested by the CBI in connection with the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case, was due to retire in about 40 days.

Vidya Prasarini Sabha (VPS), a century-old educational institution, on Friday said it had suspended Havaldar, who was working with one of its schools, following the action by the probing agency. The institution has also formed a five-member committee to investigate the matter.

Satish Gavali, secretary, VPS, said, "This is the first time in the past 102 years that our institute has been associated with such a case. Neither the government nor Havaldar informed us about any NTA or NEET-related matters, as these things are confidential."
