The NEET UG 2026 paper leak pushed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to register a case after receiving a complaint from the Department of Higher Education under the Ministry of Education. Officials booked the case under sections related to criminal conspiracy, cheating, and destruction of evidence.

The National Testing Agency conducted the NEET-UG exam on May 3 at thousands of centres across India. Around 22 lakh students appeared for the medical entrance test this year. However, allegations of a leaked question paper forced authorities to cancel the exam to protect the credibility of the national examination system.

CBI officials have formed special investigation teams and started collecting evidence from different states. Investigators are also questioning suspects linked to the case.

Meanwhile, the NTA announced that it will conduct the exam again soon. Officials also said students will not need to pay any additional fee for the re-examination.

The Special Operations Group (SOG) of Rajasthan Police is handling the case. Officers are checking how the paper spread before the exam. They are also trying to find out who created and shared it.

Investigators have detained several suspects for questioning. Police believe a wider network may have helped circulate the paper in different states. They are also examining links to coaching centres and online messaging groups.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the NEET exam. Officials say they are cooperating with the investigation. The controversy has again raised questions about the safety and fairness of the exam.

Every year, millions of students take NEET to secure admission into medical colleges across India.

Manish Ranjan, the owner of Shambhu Girls Hostel where the NEET aspirant stayed, had been in judicial custody over allegations linked to negligence and evidence handling issues. His bail was approved by the court after reviewing the investigation progress and procedural delay.

The case is still under investigation by the CBI, which is examining forensic reports, mobile data, and witness statements. Several people connected to the hostel and medical treatment have already been questioned.

The student’s death had triggered strong public reaction and political debate, leading to multiple investigations before the case was handed over to the CBI.

While Manish has been granted bail, the investigation continues, and further action will depend on the final CBI findings.
