The Story in Brief
A Delhi court has taken cognisance of the CBI's chargesheet against 13 accused in the NEET paper leak case, PTI reports. The court expressed displeasure over media outlets publishing witness names, noting some could be minors, and said it is 'extremely shocking' that chargesheet details are being made public before being stated in court.
Separately, the Latur district administration has ordered an immediate crackdown on illegal coaching classes and related activities operating from industrial sheds in the MIDC area, MPost reports. The District Industries Centre issued directives after a meeting chaired by the collector, citing misuse of industrial plots for coaching, hostels, and mess facilities instead of manufacturing.
The Indian Opinion
The court's rebuke to the media is warranted but also risks being seen as curbing legitimate reporting. The real scandal is the leak itself and the coaching industry's stranglehold on medical admissions. Latur's crackdown on illegal classes is a start, but will it address the deeper demand for shortcuts? A key test is how many of the 13 accused are actually convicted.
