Two brothers from Rajasthan allegedly bought the NEET UG 2026 question paper from a doctor in Gurugram for Rs 30 lakh [1].
The incident undermines the integrity of one of India's most competitive medical entrance exams, impacting a pool of 22.79 lakh aspirants [5].
Mangilal Biwal and Dinesh Biwal, residents of Jamwa Ramgarh, allegedly purchased the document on April 26 and 27, 2026 [1]. According to investigators, the leaked paper was subsequently distributed to about 700 students [2]. The distribution occurred via WhatsApp and Telegram [2].
The National Testing Agency (NTA) cancelled the original exam, which was scheduled for May 3, 2026 [3]. The agency launched a multi-state investigation that currently spans seven Indian states [3].
While the NTA is pursuing the investigation into the Biwal brothers and the Gurugram doctor, the agency has also issued warnings regarding misinformation. The NTA said that some posts circulating on Telegram claiming to be paper leaks are fake [Source B].
This investigation remains active as authorities seek to determine the full extent of the breach and identify all parties involved in the sale of the exam materials. The NTA continues to monitor digital platforms to prevent further fraudulent activity during the rescheduling process.

The cancellation of the NEET UG 2026 exam highlights the persistent struggle of Indian testing agencies to secure high-stakes examinations against organized leak syndicates. By involving a medical professional in the sale of the paper, the case suggests a sophisticated network of collusion that extends beyond students and tutors, necessitating the expanded seven-state probe to ensure a fair testing environment for millions of candidates.
