THANE, Aug. 12 -- A Solapur-based academy owner was arrested on Tuesday in connection with the Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) paper leak case, taking the total number of arrested accused to 16. Police identified the accused as Prakash Pawar, who was allegedly a link between three men initially arrested in the case and prospective buyers of the leaked papers in Maharashtra. The three men were arrested before they could sell him the papers. According to the police, Pawar's role was to identify students and job aspirants in Maharashtra who would be willing to pay for the leaked papers. Pawar, the only accused arrested so far from Maharashtra, has been running an academy in Solapur since 2012, police said. The academy trains candidates for Group D positions in government organisations, as well as Army recruitment and Maharashtra Police constable examinations. Assistant commissioner of police Sachin Sangle, a member of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the case, told HT that the investigation led the team to Pawar after it found original documents belonging to candidates during a house search in Delhi. "The team subsequently investigated the candidates' details and established a connection with Prakash Pawar," he said....
