The CBI interrogated a man in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, on Saturday regarding his alleged involvement in the UGC-NET paper leak case.

Authorities revealed that the suspect had purportedly shared a section of the exam paper on Telegram.

Taken into custody by the CBI's anti-corruption branch, the individual was brought to Padrauna Kotwali for questioning.

Reports indicate he had received coaching for the exam in Kota, Rajasthan.

The investigation follows an FIR filed by the CBI on Thursday, prompted by a referral from the Union education ministry.

The UGC-NET-2024 exam, administered by the NTA on June 18 nationwide, is pivotal for selecting junior research fellows, assistant professors, and PhD scholars.

Allegedly, the paper surfaced on the darknet soon after the exam, with claims of it being sold on messaging platforms for Rs 5-6 lakh, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The Union home ministry's I4C flagged these developments to the education ministry, raising concerns over the exam's integrity.
