Delhi Court Extends Judicial Custody of 10 Accused in NEET-UG 2026 Paper Leak CasePreviousNext

A Delhi court extended the judicial custody of 10 accused in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case until July 11, following a plea by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The accused, including Yash Yadav and Mangilal Biwal, are alleged to be part of a network involved in leaking and distributing exam papers before the test. The CBI continues its investigation after the National Testing Agency canceled the original exam held on May 3, with a re-exam conducted on June 21 for over 20 lakh candidates.
