On May 16, the CBI arrested biology lecturer Manisha Mandhare, who was part of the NTA paper-setting committee.
On May 12, the NTA cancelled the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate), or NEET, held on May 3 for medical admissions amid allegations of a paper leak. A re-examination has been scheduled for June 21.
Relevant photo suggestion: A representative image of Rouse Avenue Court, CBI officials during investigation, or students appearing for NEET examinations would be appropriate for publication.
