On May 13, 2026, Ashok Gehlot, the former chief minister of Rajasthan, stated that Dinesh Binwal, a detained individual in the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) paper leak case, is affiliated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Gehlot accused the BJP government of attempting to suppress the investigation into the leak, questioning why no FIR had been filed until now. The Special Operation Group (SOG) of Rajasthan Police has detained over 150 individuals, with more than 20 transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for further questioning. Gehlot's claims were met with denial from BJP officials, who stated that Binwal does not hold any official position within the party. Binwal's family has come forward to defend him, asserting that both he and his brother were wrongfully detained and are innocent of the allegations. His mother and wife expressed their disbelief regarding his involvement in the case, emphasizing their belief in his innocence.
