Maharashtra TET Leak Probe Finds SET Exam Next Target
A big school test in Maharashtra had its questions leaked.
Police think the same people who leaked those questions want to do it again for another test called SET.
They say the group worked with people at printing presses to get the papers early.
Because of the leak, the Maharashtra test was cancelled on the day it was supposed to happen.
Fifteen people, including the main suspect, have been arrested.
The police are still checking if the SET test was also targeted.
The case shows how important it is to keep exam papers secret so everyone can have a fair chance.
Investigators say the TET paper leak case may extend to the State Eligibility Test (SET).
Prime accused Bijendra Gupta allegedly coordinated with printing press staff to obtain exam papers.
Police suspect the network tried to control exam centers and provide answers to candidates.
The Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test 2026 was postponed after a paper leak was discovered.
Fifteen people have been arrested, including the main accused and his aide.
