CBI Uncovers Multi-State NEET UG 2026 Paper Leak Racket

CBI's NEET UG 2026 paper leak investigation reveals an alleged multi-state racket. Accused Dinesh Biwal reportedly paid Rs 10 lakh for a leaked paper for his son, Rishi, who still scored low. Investigators are examining past exam cycles and suspect a wider network using social media and couriers.

The investigation into the NEET UG 2026 paper leak case has taken a major turn after the Central Bureau of Investigation uncovered fresh details linked to an alleged examination racket operating across multiple states.

According to sources quoted by IANS, investigators claim that accused Dinesh Biwal allegedly paid nearly Rs 10 lakh to procure a leaked NEET question paper for his son, Rishi Biwal.

However, despite allegedly obtaining access to the paper in advance, Rishi reportedly managed to answer questions worth only 107 marks in the examination.

Rishi Biwal’s Marksheet Surfaces Online

The controversy intensified after Rishi Biwal’s marksheet surfaced online, reportedly showing that he qualified for the examination with the help of grace marks.

Sources associated with the investigation told IANS that Dinesh Biwal admitted during questioning that he had arranged the leaked paper for his son through the alleged network.

Investigators claim the payment was made in exchange for advance access to the examination paper, though the expected performance reportedly did not materialise.

The disclosure is being viewed as one of the first major breakthroughs in the ongoing CBI probe into the nationwide examination scandal.

Previous Social Media Post Now Under Scanner

Dinesh Biwal had earlier attracted attention in 2025 after publicly claiming on social media that five children from his family had successfully cleared NEET.

According to IANS sources, investigative agencies are now examining whether irregularities may also have taken place during the earlier examination cycle.

Officials suspect leaked papers could have been used previously as well to secure admissions.

CBI Suspects Multi-State Organised Network

The Central Bureau of Investigation believes the alleged operation was part of a larger organised network spread across several states.

According to investigators cited by IANS, leaked papers and Portable Document Format (PDF) files were allegedly circulated through Telegram and WhatsApp groups using a chain of agents and intermediaries.

Officials also identified a flat in Rajasthan’s Sikar district that was allegedly used as a coordination centre for distributing leaked examination material and communicating with candidates.

Family Members Suspected of Acting as Couriers

Investigators claim certain members linked to the network acted as couriers by physically delivering leaked papers to candidates before the examination.

According to agencies, Dinesh Biwal and some family members are suspected of playing such roles within the operation.

The CBI has reportedly identified nearly 150 students who may have links to the alleged racket and are currently under scrutiny.

Investigators Probe Destruction of Evidence and Financial Links

Officials informed the court that the case may involve destruction of digital evidence, suspicious financial transactions and possible insider involvement.

According to IANS sources, investigators suspect the racket operated across multiple locations including Sikar, Gurugram, Nashik and other parts of Rajasthan.

In several instances, students were allegedly provided compilations containing 500–600 “important” or likely questions to gain an unfair advantage in the examination.

Deals Allegedly Conducted Through Social Media Platforms

Investigators believe negotiations with parents and students allegedly took place through social media platforms before financial deals were finalised.

The agency is currently tracing money trails, communication records and digital activity linked to the accused individuals.

Officials are also attempting to identify the original source of the paper leak and determine whether insiders connected to the examination process were involved.

NEET Paper Leak Case Raises Questions Over Exam Security

The latest revelations have once again sparked serious concerns over the transparency and security of competitive examinations in India.

The CBI continues to expand its investigation into the NEET UG 2026 paper leak case, which has already led to arrests across multiple states and exposed alleged links between middlemen, students and organised networks.
