Delhi Court Denies Bail to Doctor in NEET UG 2026 Paper Leak Case
A Delhi special court chaired by Judge Ajay Gupta rejected the bail application of Dr. Manoj Bhagwanrao Shirure, a paediatrician alleged to be part of an organised NEET UG 2026 paper‑leak syndicate. The CBI’s investigation material was described as prima facie evidence that the doctor sourced candidates for the leak and received around Rs 5 lakh, which has since been recovered.
The court emphasized that the alleged scheme undermines the fairness of the national medical entrance examination, erodes the confidence of lakhs of honest students and has caused a loss of several crores to the government exchequer. The bail denial reflects the seriousness of the accusations and the advanced stage of the probe.
