Maharashtra TET papers smuggled in shoe insoles for ₹8K, says chargesheet
Police have filed a chargesheet in the Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) paper leak. Papers were smuggled out of an Agra printing press inside shoe insoles, and 18 people are named, with 16 arrested. Two suspects are still missing, and an SIT is probing. This affects exam bodies, printers and coaching centres, so never buy or sell leaked papers.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The Thane City police chargesheet names 18 accused in the TET paper leak, with 16 suspects arrested and two key accomplices still absconding.
- Two employees and a former staffer of an Agra printing press hid folded question papers in their shoe insoles, getting about Rs 8,000 each and a promise of land plots in Agra.
- The racket was caught a day before the June 28 exam after a tip-off, and MSCE officials confirmed the seized papers matched the actual question paper.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you run a coaching centre or work with exam material, stick to officially released papers only and report any offer of leaked question papers to the police. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
