The investigation into the alleged NEET 2026 paper leak has expanded significantly, with 16 individuals detained across various states in India, including Maharashtra, Haryana, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Rajasthan Police are collaborating to uncover what is suspected to be a far-reaching interstate racket involved in leaking examination materials for the national medical entrance test. Recent operations have led to the arrest of two individuals in Maharashtra's Indiranagar area, including a 30-year-old Bachelor of Ayurveda, Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) student. Investigators are tracing connections and examining the distribution network, with reports indicating that leaked materials may have been circulated through contacts in Nashik. The CBI has provided technical support to the Rajasthan Police, aiding in the identification and capture of suspects. As the investigation continues, officials believe more arrests are likely, revealing the full scale of this sensitive examination controversy.
