Special Judge Ajay Gupta allowed the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) plea seeking six-day custodial interrogation of the accused.

During the proceedings, the agency said that Havaldar, who was working as a translator for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET)- Undergraduate (UG), along with other accused, circulated the physics questions that had come for translation.

The CBI arrested Havaldar on May 22. She was then brought before the court on transit remand.
