A first-year Bachelor of Ayurveda, Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) student from Farrukhnagar, Gurugram, was detained by Rajasthan police as part of an investigation into the leak of the NEET-UG 2026 question paper. The student is suspected of being a key figure in the distribution of the leaked paper, which he allegedly acquired for ₹15 lakh (approximately $18,000 USD) from a third-year BAMS student in Nashik, Maharashtra. This student had reportedly obtained the paper for ₹10 lakh. The leaked questions were then disseminated to students in Sikar, Rajasthan, where the detained student had previously studied and maintained contacts with local coaching institutes. Gurugram police confirmed that the Rajasthan police's special operation group detained the suspect without prior communication. The investigation has now been transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), with Gurugram police conducting an internal inquiry into the suspect's movements leading up to the examination.
