CBI arrests student who got NEET questions from Pune headmistress PUNE: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday evening arrested a student, who allegedly received physics questions from Pune school headmistress Manisha Havaldar, in connection with the NEET-UG question paper leak case. With this, the total number of people arrested in the case has risen to 12. The student, whose phone number was reportedly saved as “God” by other accused in the case, was produced before special CBI judge RR Mende later in the night. The court granted his transit remand, allowing CBI to take him to Delhi for further investigation, special public prosecutor Abhayraj Arikar said. According to CBI, Pune school headmistress Havaldar, who was arrested on May 22 and subsequently suspended by the institution, had orally shared NEET exam questions with the student. He allegedly wrote these questions on paper, photographed them and forwarded the images to Havaldar’s husband. During earlier proceedings, the agency had informed the court that several accused had saved the student’s phone number under the name “god.” Investigators said Havaldar had received money from the student. CBI has recovered 23 pages of handwritten physics questions, original NEET question papers, official certificates issued by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and cash during the probe.

Madras high court discharges surgeon from illegal kidney transplant case TNN / May 26, 2026, 20:30 (IST) Madras high court discharged a nephrologist and organ transplant surgeon from an illegal kidney transplant case, citing procedural violations and harassment. The court found criminal proceedings CHENNAI: Madras high court has discharged a nephrologist and an organ transplant surgeon, M Ganesan, from an illegal kidney transplant case, citing procedural violations and concluding that the doctor had been subjected to harassment. “The petitioner, being a doctor, has been subjected to prolonged harassment for several years with an ulterior motive, at the instance of the authorities as well as other individuals. This case clearly amounts to an abuse of the process of law. However, the court below failed to appreciate both the factual matrix and the legal position in their proper perspective and erroneously dismissed the discharge petition, warranting interference by this court,” said Justice S Thamilselvi, in her order delivered in Jan this year. The criminal proceedings were initiated in June 2021 for the alleged offence that was said to have occurred in 2011. In the interregnum, a direction petition was filed in Madras high court under Section 482 of CrPC. Thereafter, the trial court rejected his discharge plea holding that the reasons assigned by the petitioner required appreciation of detailed evidence and that, at this stage, he could not be discharged. Aggrieved by the said order, the present revision was filed in the high court.
