Delhi Court Rejects Accused's Plea for Polygraph Tests in NEET-UG 2026 Paper Leak Case
A Delhi court rejected a plea by three accused in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case seeking polygraph, brain-mapping, and lie detector tests, which they argued would aid a fair investigation. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) opposed the plea, stating it was not maintainable and sought costs against the accused. The court deferred its order on taking cognizance of the nearly 20,000-page CBI chargesheet against 13 accused to August 12 and extended their judicial custody. The chargesheet includes allegations of criminal conspiracy and cheating related to the exam paper leak.
