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 Freights may see further rise: Mitsui OSK Dianna Russini’s husband Kevin Goldschmidt finds himself at the center of online criticism as Mike Vrabel rumors intensify D4Vd Murder Case: D4vd appears relaxed in court during murder case status hearing in Los Angeles CBI takes over Suvendu ex-aide murder probe | India News Entry-level smartphone market shrinks 59% Cancer Horoscope Today, May 13, 2026: Earnings look strong, but don’t turn it into careless spending “Carry on”: The end of Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini Sedona cheating scandal is here Missing Indian man Sandarsh Krishna found dead in Grand Canyon, no cause of death established yet Gen Z pros embrace ‘portfolio careers’ as side hustles surge Sharib Hashmi recalls struggling with ‘zero money’ before The Family Man success; wife Nasreen sold jewellery to support his dream | Hindi Movie News From surviving gang-ravaged streets to pinnacle of NBA basketball: The Isiah Thomas way | Exclusive Row over Pete Davidson’s ‘dark humour’ on Charlie Kirk: ‘He constantly makes 9/11 jokes…’ Higher food prices drive April retail inflation to 3.5% Gemini Horoscope Today, May 13, 2026: Keep money matters clean and written, even with relatives Jose Mourinho ‘in final negotiations’ for sensational Real Madrid return 13 years after exit: Reports Starmer defiant as calls for his resignation grow, several ministers quit Fragile ceasefire leaves Dalal-Street on edge, sensex falls 1.5k pts Brandon Clarke Death: Did a possible drug overdose lead to Brandon Clarke’s tragic death?

While the ministers have spoken on multiple occasions since the conflict in the West Asia region started on February 28, this will be their first in-person meeting since then. Araghchi is expected to land here Wednesday for the BRICS foreign ministers’ meeting, but his bilateral with Jaishankar is expected to be the main component of his visit as far as India is concerned. TOI had reported on May 10 that the Iranian foreign minister was likely to visit India for the BRICS meeting. Araghchi has been seeking a more pro-active role by the BRICS, especially India as the current Chair, in addressing issues related to the conflict. In the meeting, Jaishankar is expected to raise India’s concerns over disruption in energy supplies, including the stranded LPG tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and also discuss issues related to the Chabahar port after the expiry of the US sanctions waiver for India’s operations. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said Tuesday India remains in touch with both Iran and the US over the issue and that the conflict remains a complicating factor. Jaishankar is also expected to have a bilateral meeting with Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov on Wednesday.The government also announced Tuesday that Jaishankar will chair the BRICS foreign ministers’ meeting on May 14-15. Amid an exchange of views on global and regional issues, India will look to bridge the gap between member-states over the conflict in the West Asia region, although consensus for a joint statement seems improbable at this stage. The ministers will also call on PM Narendra Modi on Thursday. The level of participation from the UAE, another country which is party to the conflict, is yet to be confirmed. China will be represented by ambassador Xu Feihong as foreign minister Wang Yi is preoccupied with the Trump-Xi summit this week.On the second day of the BRICS meeting, according to the Indian announcement, members and partner countries will participate in a session themed “BRICS@20: Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability”. This will be followed by a session on the “Reforms of Global Governance and Multilateral System”. “The BRICS Foreign Ministers held their last meeting on the margins of the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 80) on 26 September 2025. The meeting was chaired by India in its capacity as the incoming BRICS Chair for 2026,” said the MEA in a statement.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 Updated: May 13, 2026, 00:37 IST Returning the favour?
