Rationale
Central assertion — Maharashtra TET leak traced to Bihar, mastermind Bijendra/Vijendra Gupta of Samastipur previously linked to Bihar recruitment, NEET-UG 2024 and Odisha SSC paper-leak cases, with a ~₹1.5 crore deal — is supported; 'Vijendra/Bijendra' is a transliteration variant of the same accused and the Odisha SSC reference matches sources.
