Mumbai, Jun 23 (PTI) The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) detained two teachers who run a private coaching centre in Latur district in connection with the alleged irregularities in the conduct of the medical entrance exam NEET-UG, an official said on Sunday.
The agency’s Nanded unit detained the two on Saturday night and let them go after hours of questioning, he said. The official said that one of the teachers works in a government school in Latur district.
ATS will call the teachers again if needed, he said.
