BHIWANDI: The Special Investigation Team has filed a 3,470-page chargesheet in the Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) paper leak case before the Bhiwandi Magistrate Court .




The document names 18 accused detailing the roles of 16 arrested individuals and two absconding suspects, in an interstate racket that breached confidential security protocols to smuggle question papers out of the printing press from Agra.




The chargesheet outlines the complete paper trail, money transactions, and recovery of the four original sets of question papers from the alleged kingpin, Bijen-dra Gupta, who was arrested from Bihar following an extensive interstate manhunt.




According to the chargesheet, the breach originated at Mahim Patran Pvt Ltd in Agra contracted to print the examination sheets.




Defective question sheets bearing minor ink blemishes or printing misalignments were routinely discarded into an on-site disposal bin before destruction. Taking advantage of the absence of CCTV surveillance, two press workers managed to retrieve the rejected papers
