A Delhi court sent Pune-based physics lecturer Manisha Sanjay Havaldar to six days of CBI custody in the NEET paper leak case on Monday.
Special Judge Ajay Gupta allowed the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) plea seeking six-day custodial interrogation of the accused.
During the proceedings, the agency said that Havaldar, who was working as a translator for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET)- Undergraduate (UG), along with other accused, circulated the physics questions that had come for translation.
The CBI arrested Havaldar on May 22.
According to the CBI, Havaldar, employed with the Seth Hiralal Saraf Prashala in Pune, was another key accused who was the source for the leak of NEET-UG 2026 physics questions.
