NEET-2026 leak probe finds gang split subjects to evade capture with careful compartmentalised planning

NEET-2026 leak probe finds gang split subjects to evade capture with careful compartmentalised planning

Investigating agencies probing the NEET-UG paper leak case say the accused allegedly operated with a strict division of labour, assigning different subject portions to different members based on expertise and networks. The compartmentalised approach, officials believe, kept suspicion low because no single person possessed the entire question paper. A Chemistry teacher in Latur allegedly shared Chemistry questions, while another accused used a student counselling institute to reach aspirants and handle much of the Biology section. Investigators also face hurdles recovering deleted Telegram chats, delaying digital evidence.
