The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a supplementary chargesheet against Sheshrao Bajrang Suryawanshi, the 14th accused in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case, alleging his role in distributing leaked exam questions and collecting money. Earlier, 13 accused, including three National Testing Agency (NTA) subject experts and intermediaries, were charged. The investigation found no evidence implicating government or NTA officials. The leak led to the cancellation of the exam and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Court proceedings continue with further hearings scheduled.
