India’s Central Bureau of Investigation took over the probe into a NEET medical entrance exam paper leak after a suspected mastermind was arrested in Jaipur, according to law enforcement reporting. NEET is a nationwide test determining admission to undergraduate medical programs, making integrity breaches politically sensitive.
The arrest in Rajasthan’s capital provided investigators a lead into networks alleged to have distributed confidential questions before the examination. CBI involvement signals the federal government treated the case as serious enough to warrant specialized detective resources.
Previous exam leaks in India have prompted court interventions, re-tests and criminal prosecutions. The summary did not identify the suspect by name or describe how papers were obtained and sold.
Students and parents have demanded swift accountability to protect merit-based admissions. Education authorities typically tighten custody chains and digital security after such incidents.
Further arrests were possible as the investigation continued.
