NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case: Coaching class run by accused Shivraj Mategonkar sealed in Pune
Renukai Career Centre (RCC) was founded by Shivraj Motegaonkar and specialised in providing coaching to NEET, JEE, and MHT-CET aspirants.
The PMC sealed RCC coaching institute run by Shivraj Motegaonkar on Wednesday as the property owner failed to get a completion certificate for the property. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) on Wednesday sealed the premises of coaching institute Renukai Career Centre (RCC), founded by Shivraj Motegaonkar, who was recently arrested in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case, saying the property did not have a completion certificate.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is probing the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, has alleged that Motegaonkar was part of an organised network involved in leaking and circulating question papers before the examination.
“The RCC coaching institute run by Motegaonkar has been sealed as the property owner failed to get a completion certificate for the property. The institute had rented the premises from a private owner and was running the classes for one and a half years,” Aniruddha Pawaskar, City Engineer, said.
The popular institute on FC Road in Shivajinagar specialised in providing coaching to NEET, JEE, and MHT-CET aspirants. Officials said that the PMC had repeatedly served notices over getting the necessary completion certificate, but the property owner had failed to do so.
The total area of the classes is 272 sq m, Pawaskar said, adding it was being run without a completion certificate. The PMC tax department has already initiated action against the property, imposing a penalty three times the actual assessment for operating without the certificate.
Pawaskar said the PMC has received the property owner’s application for a completion certificate, but added that it can only be issued after the owner clears his pending tax dues, a decision that is currently being challenged.
“The day the property owner submits a no-objection certificate from the civic property tax department after clearing the dues, the process of issuing a completion certificate will be carried out. Till then, the certificate cannot be issued,” he said.
