The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is examining how five siblings from Jaipur, Rajasthan — all with below-average academic records — secured admissions to government medical colleges after allegedly studying a leaked NEET-UG 2025 question paper purchased for ₹25 lakh. The revelations have emerged during custodial questioning in the ongoing probe into an alleged nationwide NEET paper leak network, raising fresh doubts about the integrity of the 4 May 2025 examination.
How the Alleged Deal Was Struck
According to sources linked to the investigation, Vikas Biwal of Jaipur — arrested in connection with the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case — allegedly purchased the NEET-UG 2025 question paper as well, reportedly paying ₹25 lakh for it. The paper was allegedly arranged by Gurugram-based Yash Yadav, who is also accused of supplying this year's examination paper.
Investigators say Vikas and Yash were former classmates at a NEET coaching institute in Sikar, Rajasthan, where they developed a close association. Reportedly, nearly a month before the exam, Yash informed Vikas that the question paper could be obtained in advance. After family consultations, the deal was allegedly finalised at ₹25 lakh. According to sources, the paper was handed over three days before the exam, after which all five siblings reportedly memorised the questions and answers together.
The Five Siblings and Their Academic Profiles
Vikas Biwal had scored only 270 out of 720 in NEET-UG 2024, with mock test averages around 384 and a Class 12 score of just 55%. He later secured admission to the Government Medical College, Sawai Madhopur.
Pragati, his sister, had managed 332 marks in NEET-UG 2024, with coaching test averages near 300. She reportedly secured admission to the Government Medical College, Dausa.
Gunjan's mock test scores reportedly ranged between 320 and 342, yet she obtained a government medical seat after a sharp jump in her subsequent attempt. Saniya similarly showed only average performance in both NEET-2024 and coaching tests before her percentile reportedly surged. Among the five, Palak had comparatively stronger academics — 512 marks in NEET-UG 2024 and a subsequent 98.61 percentile — before securing admission to a government medical college in Jaipur.
Family Members Allegedly Coordinated the Deal
CBI sources indicate that Vikas's father Mangilal Biwal and uncle Dinesh Biwal were actively involved in arranging payments and coordinating the alleged paper deal for both the 2025 and 2026 examinations. All four accused — Vikas Biwal, Yash Yadav, Mangilal Biwal, and Dinesh Biwal — have been arrested.
Investigators are also examining allegations that the family attempted to procure the NEET paper this year for another relative, Rishi Biwal, who reportedly passed Class 12 with grace marks and scored only 50% overall. Sources believe that had the alleged network not been exposed, he too may have secured a high rank.
Court Remand and Raids
The CBI on Thursday produced accused Shubham Khairnar, Yash Yadav, Mangilal Biwal, Vikas Biwal, and Dinesh Biwal before a Delhi court, which remanded them to seven days of CBI custody.
Simultaneously, investigators conducted raids at Dinesh Biwal's residence and farmhouse in Jamwaramgarh, reportedly recovering suspicious banking records, NEET-related documents, passbooks, cheque books, ATM cards, and papers indicating transactions worth crores of rupees. The CBI is now probing whether proceeds from the alleged racket were invested in luxury vehicles, land, and other assets.
What This Means for NEET Integrity
This is not the first time the NEET examination has faced allegations of systemic compromise. The NEET-UG 2024 controversy had already triggered a nationwide uproar, resulting in CBI involvement and a Supreme Court hearing. The latest disclosures suggest that, according to investigators, the alleged leak network may have continued operating across two consecutive examination cycles. The dramatic improvement in scores — from sub-400 mock averages to government medical college admissions — has become the centrepiece of the CBI's evidentiary focus. All findings remain subject to the outcome of the ongoing investigation and judicial proceedings.
Point of View
Investigators allege, a system failure with a paper trail. If CBI evidence holds, this would mean the NEET leak network survived the 2024 scandal, the Supreme Court scrutiny, and the agency's own earlier arrests — operating a second cycle largely undisturbed. That raises questions not just about individual wrongdoing but about whether the examination's security architecture was fundamentally reformed after 2024 or merely patched. The families of lakhs of honest NEET aspirants deserve an answer to that question before the next exam cycle begins.
