NEET case-accused Rajasthan family's 5 MBBS students vanish from colleges
Several members of the Rajasthan-based Biwal family have reportedly gone missing after three relatives were arrested in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case. Investigators suspect the arrests may open up a wider network involving leaked papers, coaching links and earlier medical entrance exams.
Several members of the Rajasthan family accused in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case have reportedly gone missing after the arrest of three relatives - Dinesh Biwal, Mangilal Biwal and Vikas Biwal - by the Central Bureau of Investigation, escalating the probe into what investigators suspect is a wider examination leak network operating across multiple years.
According to sources, multiple children from the Biwal family, all studying in government medical colleges after clearing NEET in recent years, have left their campuses and are currently untraceable. Those reportedly missing include Palak, a student at SMS Medical College Jaipur, Pragati from Dausa Medical College, Sonia from a medical college in Mumbai and Gunjan from Banaras Medical College. Vikas Biwal, another family member linked to Sawai Madhopur Medical College, had earlier been arrested in the case.
The development comes as the CBI continues its investigation into the alleged leak of the NEET-UG 2026 question paper. Three members of the family have already been arrested for their alleged involvement in the racket.
Investigators suspect the family not only procured leaked papers for their own children but also sold them further through coaching institute networks in Rajasthan’s Sikar district, a major coaching hub for medical aspirants.
During searches at the family’s residence in Jamwa Ramgarh near Jaipur, investigators reportedly recovered several documents and digital evidence linked to the alleged paper leak operation.
The probe has also revealed that this year’s leaked NEET paper was allegedly purchased for Dinesh Biwal’s son, Rishi, a Class 12 student at Janaki Public School in Natata village. School authorities told investigators that Rishi had joined the school only a year ago after leaving his studies in Sikar and was considered an average student. The school management also stated that the institution does not provide NEET coaching.
Police sources told India Today that the family may have been involved in leaking and arranging medical entrance papers in previous years as well.
Meanwhile, the CBI has also arrested Pune-based chemistry lecturer PV Kulkarni, who allegedly had access to NEET question papers through his association with the National Testing Agency and is accused of leaking questions during secret tuition sessions before the May 3 examination.
