Reports indicate the NEET 2026 question paper was allegedly sold in Sikar, Rajasthan, for up to 50 lakh rupees, establishing the city as a hub within the broader leak network.
Sikar has a concentration of coaching institutes preparing students for competitive medical and engineering exams, making it a focal point for exam-related criminal activity. The reported price of five million rupees per paper far exceeds amounts cited in other states.
Investigators examining the Rajasthan connection have traced communications and financial transactions linked to sellers operating in the Sikar coaching ecosystem. The city’s reputation for intensive exam preparation creates demand that leak operators exploit.
CBI and Rajasthan Police have conducted raids and arrests in the region as part of the multi-state probe. Families in Sikar who paid for leaked papers face the loss of examination fees and potential disqualification.
The emergence of Sikar as a identified hub adds a geographic dimension to the NEET 2026 scandal that prosecutors are documenting in court filings.
