Corroboration: 3 independent outlets

A Delhi fast-track court on Wednesday took cognisance of the CBI's chargesheet against 13 accused in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case. Special Judge Ajay Gupta expressed strong displeasure over media outlets publishing names of witnesses, some of whom could be minors. The court said parts of the chargesheet are being made public before they are stated in court. Arguments on charges are expected to begin from Thursday. Separately, the Latur district administration has ordered a crackdown on illegal coaching classes operating from industrial sheds. The move follows the CBI's arrest of 11 accused, including retired professor P V Kulkarni and coaching centre director Shivraj Motegaonkar, in connection with the leak. The court observed that three subject experts, including Kulkarni, prima facie committed criminal breach of trust with the National Testing Agency by leaking questions for monetary gain.
