NEET-UG Paper Leak Case: Court Rejects Accused's Plea for Polygraph, Brain-Mapping Tests
The judge said the request was not maintainable as the CBI opposed tests sought by three accused in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case.
On Monday, the Rouse Avenue Court in New Delhi rejected a plea from Mangilal Biwal, Vikas Biwal, and Dinesh Biwal seeking polygraph and lie detector tests in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case.
The Central Bureau of Investigation filed a nearly 20,000-page charge sheet against 13 accused, citing 360 witnesses and 422 documents regarding alleged irregularities in the May 3 examination.
Lack of dedicated CCTV monitoring or exit searches allowed three subject experts to allegedly remove NEET questions from the NTA office by concealing slips or memorizing content.
Special Judge Ajay Gupta extended the judicial custody of the accused until August 12, when the court will pronounce its order on taking cognizance of the CBI charge sheet.
Searches at 92 locations across multiple states led to the seizure of digital devices and documents, while CBI teams arrested several middlemen and coaching institute associates to uncover the full conspiracy.
