CBI takes NEET-UG 2024 question paper leak kingpin Sanjeev Mukhiya on four-day remand
PATNA: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday took Sanjeev Kumar Singh , alias Sanjeev Mukhiya, on a four-day remand for interrogation in connection with the NEET-UG 2024 question paper leak case. Mukhiya, the alleged mastermind behind several question paper leak rackets, was arrested from Patna last Friday. CBI special judge Sunil Kumar-2 granted the four-day remand after a petition was filed seeking his custody for interrogation in the undergraduate medical entrance exam case. Although the CBI had requested a seven-day remand, the court granted only four. Mukhiya, a native of Bihars Nalanda district, is believed to be at the centre of an inter-state solver gang involved in leaking question papers of various national-level exams. We hope to get substantial clue in the medical entrance exam question paper leak case, said an investigating officer on condition of anonymity. During an earlier interrogation by Bihar Polices Economic Offences Unit (EOU), Mukhiya reportedly claimed that he had helped several politicians, doctors and government officers by securing medical college seats for their children. He also confessed to maintaining connections with teachers at private coaching institutes, who would send candidates to him. He disclosed that the leaks were carried out in collusion with certain printing press employees. As soon as his men would inform him about question of a particular examination being printed in a press, he would start his work and contact them, the officer said. Mukhiya would allegedly offer hefty bribes to gain access to the papers. NTA initiates action against Telegram, Instagram channels claiming NEET-UG question paper leak Once the question papers were dispatched from the press, his men coordinated with carrier agents. The examination centre authorities were reportedly aware of only two locks on the boxes carrying the question papers, while Mukhiya had access to a third hidden lock. He would open the boxes, make xerox copies of the papers, reseal them carefully, and send them to the examination centres without raising suspicion. The xeroxed question papers were solved by his solver teams and passed on to the candidates before the exams. For the NEET-UG examination, the gang charged between Rs 40 to 50 lakh per candidate. Mukhiya claimed to have strong connections in examination rackets operating in Dehradun, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Kolkata, Gurugram, Noida and Gandhinagar. We used to take help of each other in our work, an investigating officer quoted him as saying. Revealing his personal motivation, Mukhiya reportedly told interrogators that he entered the question paper leak business to accumulate enough money to make his wife an MLA and eventually an MP. He said he had expanded his network to states including Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Delhi, Punjab and West Bengal. Additional Director General (ADG) of EOU, Naiyar Hasnain Khan, said information had been sought regarding the cases registered against Mukhiya in other states. We have shared relevant information to police officers of different states where Mukhiya has been links, Khan said. The ADG clarified that Mukhiya was arrested from an apartment near Saguna Mor under Danapur police limits in connection with the Bihar constable and teachers recruitment exam leak cases being probed by the states investigating agency. Mukhiya also confessed during interrogation that his son, Dr Shiv Prakash, and his associate, Rocky, were active members of the gang. He admitted to his involvement in leaks of question papers of NEET, BPSC, and constable recruitment exams in both Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

`Builder-banks nexus`: SC directs CBI to register inquiries against developers
A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh found a prima facie nexus between renowned banks and builders in Noida, Gurugram, Yamuna Expressway, Greater Noida, Mohali, Mumbai, Kolkata and Allahabad
The Supreme Court has ordered a CBI probe into Supertech and other builders. This is regarding undelivered housing projects in Delhi-NCR. The CBI will investigate the builder-bank nexus. Loans worth Rs 5157.86 crore are under scrutiny. The investigation includes government authorities like Noida and Greater Noida. The court will monitor the case monthly.
Supreme Court orders CBI probe into Supertech builder projects, cites builder-bank nexus
NEW DELHI: T he Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the CBI to register a preliminary enquiry and investigate the nexus between Supertech, a real estate developer , and eight other banks over delays in project completion and forcing homebuyers to pay EMIs. The top court ordered that the Central Bureau of Investigation will probe the incomplete projects of the realty major Supertech Limited in the NCR including Noida, Greater Noida, and Gurugram where irregularities have been found. The court observed that there appeared to be an unholy nexus between these eight banks and developers involved in these projects. Taking into account an affidavit filed by the CBI in the case, a two-judge bench comprising Justice Surya Kant and Justice N. Kotiswar Singh directed the Directors General of Police (DGPs) of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to provide a list of Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs), inspectors, and constables to the agency, enabling it to form a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the alleged nexus and irregularities involving Supertech and the banks. The court instructed that the CBI investigate the matter thoroughly and dig deeper to uncover the root of the irregularities. Further, the court ordered the CEOs of the Greater Noida Authority, Noida Authority, and the Secretary of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), as well as officials from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), to nominate one senior-most officer from their respective organizations within a week to assist the SIT in the investigation. The Supreme Court issued this order for a detailed CBI probe after hearing a batch of petitions filed by several homebuyers. Reportedly, around 1,000 petitioners had approached the apex court, alleging that they were being illegally forced by banks to pay EMIs despite not receiving possession of their flats. Taking note of these concerns, the court directed the CBI to conduct a comprehensive investigation. The petitioners who had booked flats in the NCR region demanded a thorough probe into Supertechs projects and the role of various banks that had loaned over 5,000 crore under the subvention scheme for its multiple housing developments. According to the court order, the Supreme Court bench will monitor the status of the CBI investigation on a monthly basis. It is important to note that a subvention scheme operates by having banks disburse the sanctioned loan amount directly to the builders account. During this period, the builder is required to pay the EMIs on the sanctioned loan until the flats are handed over to the homebuyers. However, the builder eventually began defaulting on loan payments, and at the same time, banks started demanding EMIs from the homebuyers, as per the tripartite agreement.

Thieves took flight after heist of over 6,000 mobile phones in Chikkaballapur; seven arrested
CHIKBALLAPUR: The Chikkaballapur CEN (Cyber, Economic and Narcotics) Police cracked a major mobile phone theft case by arresting seven individuals from the Mewat area of Haryana and Rajasthan, who allegedly flew out after executing the heist. Speaking to The New Indian Express, Chikkaballapur Superintendent of Police Kushal Chowksey said that on 22 November 2024, Safe Seed Carriers Private Limited company manager Padmanab lodged a complaint with Peresandra Police Station. He stated that 170 boxes of Redmi mobiles (totalling 3,400 phones) and 163 boxes of POCO mobiles (totalling 3,260 phones), valued around Rs 3 crore, had been stolen. The container used for transporting the consignment from Noida, New Delhi to wholesale dealers was found empty near Reddy Gollarahalli under Peresandra Police limits. In connection with the case registered at Peresandra Police Station, a team led by Inspector Nayaz Baig arrested the prime accused, Rahul, the driver of the vehicle and a resident of Palwal district in Haryana, Chowksey said. He added that, as the accused were residents of Haryana and Rajasthan, the case was transferred to the CEN Police under the leadership of Deputy Superintendent of Police Ravi Kumar and Circle Inspector Surya Prakash. The team worked on various angles using both traditional and technical methods and successfully arrested all accused involved in the theft, including seizing the truck used for transportation, he said. The arrested were identified as Imran, Mohammed Musthafa alias Badra, Anoop Roy, Abhijith Paul, Sakrulla, and Yusuf Khan. During the investigation, it was revealed that the theft was premeditated. The accused had travelled by flight and, after stealing the consignment, sold the phones at cheaper rates in New Delhi, distributing them across the country. The police recovered 56 mobile phones. Chowksey said the police, with the help of the Department of Telecommunications, blocked the stolen phones using their IMEI numbers. A total of 4,084 phones were blocked, including 856 in Uttar Pradesh East and West, 539 in Tamil Nadu, 466 in Andhra Pradesh, 337 in Madhya Pradesh, and 300 in the North East, he said. He further said, Deputy Superintendent of Police Ravi Kumar, Circle Inspector Surya Prakash, and the team travelled to Haryana and other parts of the country to arrest the accused.

Karnataka HC orders SIT probe into drone data theft, urges cybercrime unit creation
BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court ordered the Karnataka government to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe a case of data theft from a private company supplying drones to the defence sector as the city cybercrime police failed to conduct a proper investigation allegedly due to the influence of a deputy commissioner of police from Rajasthan and an ACP from Bengaluru. The court directed the state government to give life to the Cyber Command Centre (CCC) or constitute a separate wing, which could be a Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau -- on the lines of City Crime Branch, to tackle the growth of cybercrime. Justice M Nagaprasanna passed the order, allowing a petition filed by Newspace Research and Technologies Pvt Ltd, seeking directions to constitute the SIT, alleging an improper investigation by the CEN police of North East Division in Bengaluru. The court directed that the SIT should comprise Director General of Police Pranab Mohanty and two IPS officers Bhushan Gulab Rao Borase and Nisha James and it should be handed over the investigation immediately. The court directed that the copy of its order should be given to the chief secretary and principal secretary of the Home Department for compliance. It directed the SIT to submit the report within three months. The court said, It is again in public domain that the State of Karnataka recognising the huge problem of cyber crime, has in fact come up with a novel idea of a CCC, to be headed by an officer of the rank of Director General of Police. If a CCC is established to combat cyber crimes and strengthen cyber security, it would usher a new beginning of tackling new-age crime with new-age investigating centres. This is the paradigm shift that is imperative. Such CCCs should be made meaningfully functional by appropriate officers manning them. It is only then the state will leap forward to tackle the emergency and growth of cybercrime, failing which, the citizen who has been a victim of cybercrime or cyber fraud will never get justice. The petitioner, involved in the manufacture of drones for the services, registered the crime on December 25, 2024, accusing its three former employees - Prabhat Sharma, Anirudh Putsala and Akash Patil - of stealing data and starting their own company, compromising the security of the nation. The accused conspired to steal sensitive proprietary information for the benefit of a rival firm called Lenviz Technologies, where they are now employed, it alleged. The alleged stolen information pertains to cutting edge UAV, the complaint stated. During the hearing, it came to light that the accused were not taken into custody despite bail not granted to them. After an interim order on March 20, 2025, the police visited Noida and arrested the accused. They later issued a notice to the accused under Section 35(3) of the BNSS to appear for inquiry, which was to be done before the arrest. The court was informed that they disappeared after the notice was issued. Noting that the notice after the arrest is the first needle of suspicion on a fake investigation being conducted, the court appointed a court commissioner, who visited the residence of the accused, Prabhat Sharma. The Court Commissioner reported that during the seizure procedure at Prabhats place, a technical staff member, Manoj, received continuous phone calls from individuals claiming to be a DCP from Jaipur and an ACP from Bengaluru. They tried to interfere with the operation and instructed us to vacate the premises, warning of unusual circumstances. The ACP from Bengaluru specifically enquired what are you doing with a group of 12-14 people at the raid location despite being informed by DCP Jaipur to vacate the premises? the court commissioner stated.
