The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Latur-based paediatrician Dr Manoj Shirure in connection with the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case, making him the first parent arrested in the investigation. Officials alleged that Shirure bought leaked chemistry question papers for his son, who appeared for the medical entrance examination this year. Investigators said Shirure was in contact with retired chemistry professor P V Kulkarni and RCC Classes founder Shivraj Motegaonkar, both under scrutiny in the probe. The doctor was questioned for two days before being taken to Pune and is expected to be produced before a Delhi court. (PC: The Indian Express)
