NEW DELHI: Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear the plea of Enforcement Directorate seeking cancellation of bail granted to alleged West Bengal coal smuggling ‘kingpin’ Anup Majee and issued notice to him but it observed that the agency was dragging its feet as the probe was going on for the last six years.A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued notice on the ED’s plea challenging a Delhi High Court order granting anticipatory bail to Majee in June last year. It, however, rejected ED’s plea for an early date and listed the case for Sept, and Majee would continue to enjoy the protection till then.Additional solicitor general S V Raju, appearing for the ED, contended that Majee was earlier absconding in the case in which he is the kingpin and Rs 2,700 crore of national resources were plundered. He said that Majee’s accountant is still absconding. Countering his arguments, senior advocate Siddhartha Dave, appearing for Majee, said that his client had cooperated with the investigation and he appeared 23 times before the agency, including 13 times when the protection from arrest was not there.The bench was initially not inclined to entertain ED’s plea, but it finally passed order in favour of the agency after ASG insisted the court hear the case.Anup Majee, alias Lala, against whom the ED initiated its money laundering investigation in 2020 on a CBI FIR, is considered the prime accused who can unravel money trail of alleged payoffs of over Rs 1,300 crore made to senior Trinamool Congress functionaries during 2020-21.During searches on premises linked to Majee and his associates a diary was recovered by ED from Niraj Singh, Majee’s accountant, that allegedly revealed coded records of payoffs of Rs 1,350 crore. According to sources, one of the entries referred to one “Pankaj da” who was paid in instalments of Rs 10 crore each, beginning March 2020.Other entries referred to “Bankura IC”, who took deliveries of cash cartons allegedly on behalf of TMC leaders.

JAIPUR: CBI on Tuesday took over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak probe after Rajasthan Police’s Special Operations Group (SOG) said “paper leak mafia” had sold a leaked question paper disguised as a “guess paper” – containing all 90 biology and 45 chemistry questions from the May 3 exam – for Rs 10 lakh to Rs 25 lakh a copy, across a network stretching from Rajasthan and Haryana to Maharashtra, Uttarakhand and Kerala.A CBI team reached the SOG headquarters in Jaipur late on Tuesday to question suspects rounded up by police. The central agency said it registered an FIR based on a complaint from the Union education ministry’s department of higher education, invoking charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating, criminal breach of trust, theft and destruction of evidence under BNS, apart from offences under Prevention of Corruption Act and Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024.”These questions were hi-dden inside a guess paper containing over 400 questions,” a senior SOG official said.In Nashik, police detained a 27-year-old from Nandgaon who had allegedly altered his appearance to evade detection. DCP Kirankumar Chavan said Nashik Police acted on a request from their Rajasthan counterparts. “He will be handed over to Rajasthan Police once their team arrives in Nashik,” Chavan said.Sources said the suspect was a third-year Bachelor of Ayurveda Medicine and Surgery student in MP’s Sehore and worked part-time as a career counsellor in Nashik. He was preparing to leave the city on the pretext of a holiday when police detained him. He allegedly received a consignment from an unidentified person and forwarded it to someone in Gurgaon.SOG said the paper was circulated widely from Jaipur, Sikar and Gurgaon to Nashik and Pune. Investigators also retrieved messages telling students that even if they had not prepared adequately, memorising the guess-paper questions would help them crack the test.A Sikar resident ostensibly received the guess paper on May 7 and alerted local authorities, but the complaint was allegedly ignored, SOG sources said. The person then emailed National Testing Agency, which shared the input with another central agency that contacted SOG.A comparison of the guess paper with the official question paper revealed multiple matches.”We dispatched a team to Sikar. We realised that the cartel involved in leaking the paper had a network stretching across the country,” an SOG source said.Investigators in Rajasthan said the preliminary probe indicated the leak did not originate in the state. IGP (SOG) Ajay Pal Lamba said a Haryana-based suspect obtained the paper from someone in Nashik.Among the first to be questioned by CBI was Sikar-based Rakesh Mandawaria, a “paper solver” and “consultant”. Mandawaria was detained by SOG on May 8 after he bragged that 120-odd questions from the guess paper he had shared with clients were included in the NEET-UG exam. A coaching institute teacher subsequently filed a complaint at Sikar’s Udyog Nagar police station.”We have questioned 150 students and 70 others so far,” an SOG official said. “We suspect the questions were meant to be shared with only a few select buyers, but greed took over and someone leaked them outside the designated network.”SOG has not formally arrested anyone yet. A CBI team remained at the SOG headquarters late Tuesday, coordinating with senior officials over the transfer of the Nashik suspect to its custody.(With inputs from Abhilash Botekar in Nashik)End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosRahul Gandhi Submits Dissent Note On CBI Chief Selection After Key Meet At PM Modi’s Residence‘India Should Not Close Doors For Dialogue With Pakistan’: RSS General Secretary HosabaleVijay Appoints Astrologer As OSD In Tamil Nadu Govt, TVK Allies Call It ‘Unacceptable’Kerala CM Race Heats Up, KC Venugopal Emerges Frontrunner As Rahul Gandhi Holds KeyNEET-UG 2026 Cancelled: NTA Confirms WhatsApp Leak, Announces Refunds & CBI ProbeVijay Meets AIADMK Rebels As EPS Faces Internal Revolt Before Key Assembly VoteIndia Has 60 Days Of Crude Oil LNG; 45 Days Of LPG; Oil Firms Losing ₹1,000 Cr A Day: Hardeep PuriNEET-UG 2026 Cancelled After Leak Verified; NTA Promises Fair Re-Exam For Students | WatchMEA Slams China Over Pakistan Support, Says Shielding Terror Hurts Reputation | WatchSri Lanka Navy Arrests 6 Indian Fishermen, TN CM Vijay Writes To Jaishankar Seeking Their Release123PhotostoriesAlia Bhatt adds a desi twist to Cannes 2026 with a custom dupatta on her breathtaking coral gownWhy you feel constantly drained: 10 signs your soul needs healing9 facts about snow leopards that explain why they are called the ‘ghosts of the mountains’5 Cannes Film Festival 2026 fashion rules celebrities can’t afford to ignoreKim Kardashian and Pete Davidson: Inside the high-profile romance and break-up5 mistakes you’re making if Chikmagalur isn’t in your summer itineraryTraditional Indian home features that deserve a comeback in modern livingFrom lawsuits to public feuds: Controversies that kept Johnny Depp in headlinesLesser-known facts about ‘Taarak Mehta ka Oolta Chasma’ star Dilip Joshi, aka Jethala5 ways to respond with confidence when being disrespected123Hot PicksCBSE class 12 resultRaj SinghBandi Sanjay KumarPune child rape-murder caseLPG stockNEET exam cancelledModi on Gold and WFHTop TrendingTamil Nadu CMBhagwant Mann CousinIPL Points TableFifa World Cup 2026 ScheduleVijay AstrologerHimanta Biswa SarmaIPL Orange Cap 2026AIADMK splitHighway Toll DuesBhuvneshwar Kumar
