Jaipur, May 14 -- Maharashtra Police on Wednesday arrested a man from Ahilyanagar for allegedly sending a courier containing a handwritten 120-question "guess paper" for NEET (UG)-2026 to a Nashik-based BAMS student, a key accused in the exam leak, a senior officer said. An officer from the Rajasthan special operations group (SOG) said, "Dhananjay Lokhande's name came under our radar after final-year BAMS student Shubham Khairnar was arrested on Tuesday. He allegedly received the physical copy of the guess paper first through a courier from Lokhande. Khairnar then sold it to Haryana-based Yash Yadav, whom the SOG also detained on Monday." Nashik deputy commissioner of police Kishore Kale said, "After we arrested Khairnar on the Rajasthan SOG's direction, he confessed to getting the paper through a courier from another individual in Pune. We immediately alerted Pune police, who later identified this man as Lokhande. On Wednesday, Ahilyanagar police arrested him at his house." Meanwhile, superintendent of police Ahilyanagar Mummaka Sudarshan stated that Lokhande was arrested and handed over to the CBI early on Wednesday. He is a resident of Ahilyanagar but had been staying in Pune's Wagholi for the last few months, from where he is suspected to have sent the courier. The CBI will now probe whether he was in touch with any gang that leaked the paper or if he prepared the guess paper himself. SOG officers said that around 26 people, including Haryana-based Yash Yadav, were handed over to the CBI on Wednesday. "Yash is a medical student in Dehradun and also a resident of Gurgaon. He received the paper's soft copy from Shubham Khairnar and sold it to Dinesh Biwal in Jaipur's Jawaramgarh for Rs.15 lakh. The SOG had already detained him in Gurgaon and brought him to Jaipur, from where the CBI took him to Delhi today." The CBI also took custody of Jawaramgarh-based BJP youth wing worker Dinesh Biwal, his brother Mangilal Biwal, and another accused Rakesh Mandawariya. "Biwal brothers bought the paper for Rs.15 lakh from Yash on April 27 and sold it to many students for Rs.30 lakh," an SOG official said. "However, it is not yet clear who the other person from Gurgaon was who sold the same guess paper to Mandawariya. We found that Mandawariya sold it to an MBBS student in Kerala, who is also a resident of Churu. She later sent it to her father in Sikar, who runs a hostel. Once he shared the paper with students at his hostel for free the night before the exam, it went viral and reached many states such as Bihar, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, and others." SOG officers also said they have found four children of Dinesh's two brothers who cleared the NEET exam-two of whom are studying in a government medical college while the other two are pursuing the course in a private college. "Dinesh's own son, Rishi, who appeared in NEET this year, has gone absconding along with one of those four children, Aman, who cleared the exam last year," said a senior SOG officer. "We suspect that Dinesh provided the paper to his own son as well. It is also possible that they attempted irregularities in the previous year's NEET exam. We are searching for them." CBI arrested Dinesh, Mangilal, and Vikas Biwal on Wednesday. Around 26 accused, earlier detained by SOG, are still being questioned by the CBI in Jaipur. Apart from the aforementioned accused, there are also Vikram Yadav, Yogesh Parjapat, Sandeep Haritwal, Nitesh Ajmera, Vikash, and Satyanarayan Chaudhary. SOG officers said they have a list of 150 students, parents, counsellors, and coaching centres who received the guess paper. The SOG started the investigation after DGP Rajeev Sharma received a letter from the NTA on May 7 to trace a 410-question guess paper in Sikar....
