The accused include three NTA subject experts, coaching operators, intermediaries and candidates. The agency has invoked the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024. The Hindu reports that digital evidence includes messages, seized devices, call records and an access-control app from the Pune society where chemistry expert P V Kulkarni lived. The CBI says students and parents attended unauthorised coaching there. Material recovered from candidates and middlemen reportedly matched paper sets, with the highest match reaching 85% for sets accessed by the experts. ## Coverage - odishatv.in - hindustantimes.com Tags: CBI, education, NEET-UG, NTA, paper leak Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/cbi-chargesheets-13-over-alleged-neet-ug-2026-paper-leak/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
