  "summary": "The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has formally requested the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to provide all case records related to the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. The ED is examining the alleged financial aspects of the case, which includes tracing the financial trail behind the examination scandal. This marks the first time the financial crimes investigation agency has formally sought information from the CBI in connection with the case. The ED's move could add a new dimension to the investigation, as it will allow the agency to study the CBI material while waiting for the ongoing court proceedings to conclude.",
