A Delhi court has sent Pune-based physics lecturer Manisha Sanjay Havaldar to six days of Central Bureau of Investigation custody in the NEET-UG paper leak case. Special Judge Ajay Gupta allowed the CBI’s plea seeking custodial interrogation of the accused. Havaldar was arrested on 22nd May and was produced before the court on transit remand.

According to the CBI, Havaldar, who worked as a translator for NEET-UG examination material and is associated with Seth Hiralal Saraf Prashala in Pune, allegedly circulated physics questions meant for translation along with other accused. The agency has described her as a key link in the alleged leak of NEET-UG physics question papers.
