NEET (Graduate)-2026 was organized on May 3 for admission to undergraduate courses in medical colleges. This exam was canceled on Tuesday (12 May 2026) amid allegations of question paper leak. The government has directed the CBI to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the “irregularities”. Meanwhile, the police officer said that the alleged question paper leak could also be related to Latur in Central Maharashtra, where the parent of a student who appeared in the examination lodged a complaint with the office of the Superintendent of Police on Tuesday.

Police gave instructions to SDPO for immediate investigation
According to the complaint, a private coaching institute in Latur had allegedly conducted a mock test for its students before the conduct of NEET (UG)-2026. The surprising thing is that 42 questions of the mock test allegedly matched exactly with the questions asked in the actual exam. In the complaint, doubts have been raised about the involvement of the coaching institute in this widespread question paper leak network. Taking these claims seriously, Superintendent of Police Amol Tambe has directed Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Sameer Singh Salve to immediately investigate and initiate legal action against the culprits. Latur police administration has appealed to the people to come forward with any information or evidence related to the NEET question paper leak case. People having relevant information have been requested to contact SDPO Salve on his mobile number.
