Breaking: RCC Owner Used Mock Tests to Mask Paper Leak Network, Says CBI Probe

The NEET paper leak investigation has taken a dramatic turn after the arrest of RCC Coaching owner Shivraj Motegaonkar from Maharashtra’s Latur district. According to sources linked to the investigation, the coaching operator was allegedly an active member of the larger paper leak network and had reportedly accessed the NEET question paper as early as April 23, weeks before the examination was conducted. The case gathered momentum after multiple viral videos surfaced online showing Motegaonkar and faculty members of RCC Coaching proudly claiming that questions from their mock tests had appeared “exactly” in the actual NEET examination. In the videos, teachers repeatedly state that entire sections, including theory questions, assertion-reasoning patterns, numerical problems, and match-the-column questions, were directly repeated from RCC study material and test series. One faculty member even claimed that Motegaonkar had predicted certain questions after a “dream,” adding to suspicions that the institute already had prior access to the leaked paper. Investigators now believe the alleged strategy involved introducing leaked questions through mock tests and study material to create the image of extraordinary academic accuracy, thereby boosting the coaching institute’s reputation and attracting more admissions. CBI officials reportedly recovered crucial digital evidence, including hard disks, mobile data, and electronic records during questioning. The agency suspects the leaked content was circulated systematically through specially designed mock exams to avoid direct suspicion. RCC Coaching reportedly enrolls nearly 40,000 students annually and has a turnover exceeding ₹100 crore. Motegaonkar, popularly known among students as “M Sir,” teaches chemistry and enjoys a massive following across Maharashtra’s coaching ecosystem. The investigation is now expanding to identify additional links between coaching institutes, middlemen, and the larger examination leak syndicate operating across multiple states.
