MPSC Drug Inspector Paper Leak Case: Arrests Rise To 11 As SIT Nabs 2 Candidates And 2 Middlemen In Maharashtra

Mumbai: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has made significant progress in the MPSC Drug Inspector examination question paper leak case, arresting two candidates and two middlemen, bringing the total arrests to 11. The MPSC examination, conducted on March 22, 2026, at six locations across Maharashtra, was targeted due to concerns over compromised confidentiality and fairness.

Allegations suggest government officials misused their positions to exchange question sets for monetary gain. Punjab Police Inspector Mangesh Desai filed the complaint on August 25, 2026, leading to the registration of a case under various laws, including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

The SIT uncovered that confidential question sets were unlawfully removed from MPSC premises and obtained by suspects for personal profit. Initial arrests included Abhijit Lendwe, Vishweshwar Nakate, Gopal Marathe, Pravin Patil, Amrut Patil, Lokesh Patil, Sajid Sande, Vijay Kingar, Sandeep Khalate, and Bhairavnath Kadam. With these four recent arrests from Navi Mumbai, the total number of individuals apprehended in the MPSC Drug Inspector question paper leak case now stands at 11.
