CBI files supplementary chargesheet in NEET-UG paper leak case

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a supplementary chargesheet in the NEET-UG paper leak case before a Delhi court on Wednesday, 14 October 2026. Special Judge Ajay Gupta directed that a copy be supplied to the 14th accused, Sheshrav Bajrang Suryawanshi alias Raj Suryawanshi, and posted the matter for further proceedings on Thursday, 8 October 2026. The agency has alleged that Suryawanshi, arrested on 2 September, is a close associate of co-accused Shubham Khairnar and played a key role in the leak.

The supplementary chargesheet comes after the court took cognisance of the CBI's chargesheet against 13 other accused on 12 August. The CBI began its crackdown on 13 May, arresting Mangilal, Dinesh and Vikas Biwal in Rajasthan, whose phones contained leaked PDFs received via Telegram on 29 April. The agency arrested alleged mastermind P V Kulkarni on 15 May. The CBI claims the conspiracy was unearthed through forensic imaging of mobile devices. The National Testing Agency cancelled the 3 May exam amid paper leak allegations and conducted a re-examination on 21 June.
