Shivaji Maharaj biography, Hanuman Chalisa: What NEET accused wants to read in jail

Dhananjay Nivrutti Lokhande, the alleged middleman in the 2026 NEET-UG 'paper leak' case, has requested a Delhi court to provide him with three texts while in judicial custody. Lokhande, along with co-accused Shubham Khairnar, is accused of allegedly circulating leaked NEET examination material. The court has ordered that Lokhande be provided the Shrimaan Yogi, a biographical novel on Shivaji Maharaj, the Hanuman Chalisa, a 16th-century religious text, and texts of the Mangal Strota.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is investigating the case and alleges that Lokhande played a key role in the leak.
