CBI Gets Custody of Five Accused in Nationwide NEET-UG 2026 Paper Leak Case

A Delhi court has remanded five men to seven days of CBI custody following allegations of a massive nationwide conspiracy involving the NEET-UG 2026 examination.

The accused, apprehended across Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Haryana, allegedly sold leaked question papers for sums ranging between ₹10 lakh and ₹12 lakh.

The CBI informed Special Judge Ajay Gupta that a "guess paper" containing questions that appeared in the actual exam was circulated weeks before the May 3 test date.

The agency is currently investigating the potential involvement of public servants and National Testing Agency (NTA) officials to uncover the full extent of the organized leak.
