NEET-UG paper leak: What CBI chargesheet reveals about conspiracy, accused, modus operandi? | Explained
The chargesheet revealed that confidential questions were allegedly shared by insiders with intermediaries, coaching operators, and candidate brokers, who then copied, printed, sold, and distributed the stolen material for profit
According to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), a chargesheet has been filed against individuals accused of leaking the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2026 question paper before the examination took place. The CBI alleges that an unauthorized PDF containing hundreds of questions was shared among students prior to the May 3 exam, with several of those questions matching those found on the actual test paper.
The leak reportedly occurred across over 22 lakh students appearing for the NEET UG 2026 examination, which was conducted at 5,432 centers in 565 cities in 13 languages. The incident led to widespread protests from students and prompted the Centre to hand over the investigation to the CBI.
