An accused in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case claimed "big people are being saved" while in CBI custody, intensifying speculation about influential players higher up the chain. The CBI arrested five, including three from a Jaipur family, as the probe expands across Rajasthan, Haryana, and Maharashtra.
The accused's remark, made as they were being taken to Delhi for further questioning, has added a fresh layer to the widening scandal. Investigators suspect the network stretches beyond current arrests, involving more influential handlers.
The probe, initially led by Rajasthan's SOG, was transferred to the CBI. It uncovered a network using coaching contacts, couriers, and social media to distribute a "guess paper" before the cancelled May 3 exam.
Digital records, money trails, and coaching institute links are being examined to identify larger operators. The case has sparked concern over exam security and the involvement of coaching ecosystems.
