Shubham Khairnar, the medical student arrested from Nashik, has been sent to police remand in the NEET paper leak scandal.
Officials said that Shubham Khairnar is a student of Bachelor of Medical Sciences at Bhopal University. He resides in Indiranagar, Nashik with his family and his age is around 30 years. He is originally from Nandgaon taluka in Nashik district. He reportedly received a physical copy of the ‘guess paper’ in Nashik a few days prior the ‘NEET’ exam on May 3 & handed a soft copy to someone in Haryana.
The arrest of Khairnar reportedly took place around noon when he was going to the temple for darshan. He had also supposedly altered his appearance and even shaved his hair, to stop people identifying him. He couldn’t, however, cover up his identity and was arrested by the police after they were able to recognise his face from old photos.
