CBI Arrests Suspects in Exam Leak and International Cyber-Fraud Cases
Introduction
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has strengthened its legal actions by arresting individuals involved in a national exam leak and a multi-million dollar international fraud operation.
Main Body
Regarding the NEET 2026 exam leak, a Delhi court has allowed the CBI to keep Dhananjay Nivrutti Lokhande in custody for six days. This decision was made because the agency needs to prevent the destruction of evidence and identify other members of the criminal group. The CBI emphasized that the exam materials were shared for money before the May 3 test date, which was confirmed by an initial investigation in Rajasthan. The materials were passed from Manisha Waghmare to Lokhande, then to Shubham Madhukar Khairnar, and finally to Yash Yadav, who used Telegram to distribute them. Financial records show that Lokhande paid Khairnar approximately 6 lakh rupees. Furthermore, the CBI arrested Lakhan Jaiprakash Jagwani on May 13 after he had been hiding. Jagwani is accused of being a main leader of an international cyber-fraud network that has operated since September 2022. This group set up illegal call centers in New Delhi and Noida, where workers pretended to be officials from US agencies like the FBI and the Social Security Administration. By using internet calling services and fake identities, the group cheated US citizens out of about 8.5 million dollars. Consequently, previous police actions in December 2025 led to the seizure of 1.88 crore rupees and important documents from a house in Greater Noida.
Conclusion
The CBI is continuing its interrogations and efforts to recover evidence in both the academic fraud and international financial crime cases.

🚀 The Leap: From 'Saying' to 'Reporting'
At the A2 level, you usually describe things simply: "The police arrested a man because he stole money." But to reach B2, you need to move toward Formal Reporting.
Look at how the article describes the crimes. It doesn't just use simple verbs; it uses Complex Cause-and-Effect structures.
⚡ The Power of "Because of" vs. "Due to" vs. "Consequently"
In the text, we see: "This decision was made because the agency needs to prevent..." and "Consequently, previous police actions... led to the seizure."
The B2 Upgrade: Instead of using "so" or "because" for everything, try these logical connectors to sound more professional:
-
Consequently / Therefore (Use these to start a sentence when showing a result).
- A2: He lied, so he went to jail.
- B2: He lied; consequently, he was arrested.
-
Involved in (Stop saying "did a crime").
- A2: He did a fraud operation.
- B2: He was involved in a fraud operation.
🔍 Vocabulary Shift: Precise Action Verbs
Notice the difference between basic words and the "B2 Power Verbs" used in the text:
| A2 Word | B2 Power Verb (from text) | Context Example |
|---|---|---|
| Stop | Prevent | ...to prevent the destruction of evidence. |
| Find | Identify | ...and identify other members. |
| Take | Seizure (Noun form) | ...led to the seizure of 1.88 crore rupees. |
| Ask/Question | Interrogation (Noun form) | The CBI is continuing its interrogations. |
Pro Tip: B2 speakers often turn verbs into nouns (Nominalization). Instead of saying "The police interrogated him," they say "The police conducted an interrogation." This makes your English sound academic and official.
