SIT Alleges TET Paper Leak Accused’s Wife Had Prior Knowledge, Aided Evasion

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) paper leak case has alleged that Suman Kumari, the wife of prime accused Bijendra Kumar Gupta, was aware of the conspiracy before the question paper was leaked. Investigators state that she later helped her missing husband evade law enforcement by using app-based communication platforms, and she is currently not cooperating with the investigation.

According to a police officer close to the probe, Suman Kumari learned of the impending paper leak after overhearing her husband discuss the racket on the phone with an associate. The SIT has gathered evidence suggesting that she remained in regular contact with Gupta after he was booked in the TET paper leak case and went missing. She allegedly communicated via WhatsApp, making it difficult for investigators to trace their conversations and locations.

The TET is a crucial examination for aspiring teachers in Maharashtra, and the paper leak has raised serious concerns about the integrity of the recruitment process. The SIT is continuing its investigation to apprehend Gupta and uncover the full extent of the conspiracy.
