She allegedly typed the questions into a paper-like format and sold them to Dhananjay Nivrutti Lokhande, who circulated them through a network of middlemen across multiple states in exchange for lakhs of rupees.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm
