CBI to File Final Charge Sheet in NEET-UG 2026 Paper Leak Case Soon
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is set to file its final charge sheet within a week in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case, naming 13 individuals including subject experts, coaching centre operators, middlemen, and candidates. The investigation found no evidence implicating central government or National Testing Agency (NTA) officials. The leak led to the cancellation of the exam, widespread protests, and the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The probe is expected to conclude with details on three additional arrests and forensic findings.
