Reporting confirms that CBI and state police agencies had arrested more than 13 individuals across multiple states for their roles in the organised NEET 2026 paper leak network.
The arrests span coordinators, middlemen, and local facilitators who handled distribution and payment collection for leaked exam papers. Combined operations by the central agency and state forces dismantled nodes of the racket in several jurisdictions simultaneously.
Investigators identified the network through digital forensics, financial tracing, and informant tips following the initial discovery of the leak. Each arrest adds testimony and evidence to the prosecution’s case against the conspiracy’s leadership.
NEET candidates who purchased papers face potential disqualification and separate administrative action by NTA. Criminal charges against the arrested individuals include offenses related to cheating, criminal conspiracy, and corruption.
The tally of more than 13 arrests indicates the investigation remains active, with additional detentions possible as CBI follows leads to remaining participants.
