The Central Bureau of Investigation has made significant progress in uncovering details of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Undergraduate 2026 paper leak case in Rajasthan’s Sikar district. Dinesh Biwal, the accused, allegedly paid around Rs 10 lakh to access the leaked question paper for his son, Rishi Biwal. Despite having early access to the paper, Rishi reportedly could only answer questions worth 107 marks in the exam.
The case escalated when Rishi Biwal’s academic marksheet surfaced online, indicating that he passed the exam with the help of grace marks. During questioning, Dinesh Biwal confessed to obtaining the leaked paper for his son, involving a payment of approximately Rs 10 lakh. This revelation marks a significant development in the ongoing CBI investigation into the nationwide examination scam.
Authorities suspect that leaked papers might have been used in previous exam cycles as well to secure admissions. The operation is believed to be part of a larger organized network spread across multiple states. The investigation has identified nearly 150 students with potential links to the network, currently under scrutiny for their involvement.
Officials have highlighted suspicious financial transactions, possible insider roles, and the destruction of digital evidence as aspects of the case. The alleged racket operated in various locations, including Sikar, Gurugram, Nashik, and other parts of Rajasthan. This scandal has reignited concerns about the security and transparency of competitive exams in India, prompting the CBI to intensify efforts to trace the source of the leak and the key individuals behind the network.
