An accused in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak , Yash Yadav, has been permitted by a Delhi court to take the re-examination on June 21, 2026 . Special Judge Vishal Gogne of the Rouse Avenue Court rejected Yadav's request for 15 days of interim bail. However, the court ruled that his right to education should not be penalized by his alleged involvement in the case.
NEET Re-Exam Decision
The court emphasized that education is a fundamental right. This decision aims to balance justice and providing career opportunities. The prison department will arrange for the transfer of Yadav's official hall ticket. A heavily armed police tactical force will escort him to the examination venue in Gurugram on the test day.
Background of the Case
Yadav is one of 13 individuals arrested in connection with the NEET-UG 2026 exam leak. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) alleges that Yadav obtained leaked PDF documents of the exam through Telegram. He is accused of selling these documents to a buyer in Jaipur for approximately ₹10 lakh .
CBI Opposition
The CBI had opposed Yadav's bail application. They raised concerns that he could destroy evidence or evade arrest. The agency cited his alleged role in a fraud impacting the national education system. The National Testing Agency (NTA) did not raise any technical objections regarding his admission card.
