Why CBI Investigation and Exam Cancellation Despite NEET Paper Not Leaking? NTA Director Grilled by MPs in Parliamentary Committee The controversy surrounding the NEET-UG exam leak has escalated as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probes the incident, even though officials claim the paper was not leaked. A parliamentary committee grilled NTA officials, including its director, over the decision to cancel the exam and the CBI’s involvement. The debate centers on the credibility of the NTA’s claims and the government’s response to the alleged breach. The parliamentary committee convened on May 22, 2026, to address the NEET-UG exam controversy. NTA officials, including Director Abhishek Singh and Chairman Pradeep Kumar Joshi, faced sharp questions from lawmakers. The discussion revolved around the alleged leak of the exam paper, with lawmakers demanding clarity on why the CBI was involved despite the NTA’s assertion that no leak occurred. NTA officials initially claimed their system was secure and that the CBI’s investigation was ongoing. However, lawmakers challenged this, asking why the CBI was investigating if no leak had happened. The NTA director had no immediate response, leaving the committee questioning the validity of the agency’s claims. The controversy gained momentum after a teacher from Sikanur reported the leak of the chemistry paper following the exam. The teacher provided a PDF copy of the leaked questions, which matched the official paper in several sections, including all chemistry questions and some biology questions. This evidence prompted the NTA to escalate the matter to the CBI, which is now investigating the incident.#parliamentary_committee #central_bureau_of_investigation #nta_director_abhishek_singh #sikanur_teacher #nta_chairman_pradeep_kumar_joshi
