NEET-UG 2026 paper leak probe update: The NEET-UG 2026 paper leak probe took a major turn on Wednesday after the CBI arrested two brothers from Rajasthan’s Jaipur district, with investigators alleging they bought and circulated a “guess paper” containing 120 questions linked to the medical entrance exam. In a significant development on Wednesday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Dinesh Biwal and his brother Mangilal Biwal from Jamwa Ramgarh town in Jaipur district in connection with the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, a Rajasthan Police officer said.
Update from Special Operations Group (SOG) on NEET-UG 2026 paper leak probe?
The Special Operations Group (SOG), which was probing the matter before the case was transferred to the CBI, is also examining how five candidates from Dinesh Biwal’s family cleared the NEET examination last year.
“Dinesh Biwal and his brother Mangilal Biwal have been tracked down to have received the guess paper containing 120 questions of the NEET-2026 from a person from Haryana. They purchased it for ₹15 lakh and then sold it to several students in Sikar. We detained him on Monday for questioning, while the CBI arrested them today morning and took them to Delhi,” a senior officer from the Rajasthan Special Operations Group said.
The arrests also triggered a political row after former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot targeted the BJP over the case.
“Dinesh Biwal, who was arrested by the CBI in connection with the NEET-2026 exam paper leak, is a BJP functionary. Is that the reason the BJP didn’t lodge an FIR for such a long time? This incident exposes this party. Is the BJP safeguarding the culprits who are destroying the future of the youth of this country?” Gehlot said in a post on X while sharing a news report and a poster allegedly linked to Dinesh Biwal.
