Maharashtra TET scam: Three more persons arrested from Punjab, Bihar

In connection with the alleged Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) question paper leak, Maharashtra's Special Investigation Team (SIT) arrested three additional individuals on July 2, 2026. The accused—Kapil Dahiya, Mithunkumar Sublal Singh, and Sonukumar Kushweshwar Singh—were captured in Punjab and Bihar. Kapil Dahiya, previously named in the FIR, had attempted to escape after being tipped off about the arrest of his accomplice, using a false name to book a flight out of Maharashtra. He was linked to the alleged mastermind, Bijendar Kumar Gupta, who remains at large. Mithunkumar Singh traveled to Pune to sell leaked exam papers, while Sonukumar Singh, who operates a photo shop in Bihar, provided fake documents to Bijendar Gupta to aid his escape and assisted in copying the leaked papers.
