It is suspected that Mandwaria played a role in distributing the ‘guess paper’ among NEET aspirants. During interrogation, Mandwaria admitted to purchasing the leaked paper from the brother duo Dinesh and Mangilal for Rs 15 lakh. Thereafter, the leaked paper was widely spread in Sikar.

The suspects, Dinesh and Mangilal are property dealers who come from farming backgrounds. Police are also investigating their family, at least five candidates have appeared in NEET since 2024. Sources have revealed that Dinesh’s son Rishi did his NEET coaching from Sikar, and during that phase Dinesh made frequent visits to Sikar.

Brothers allegedly bought NEET paper from Gurugram-based student

During questioning, the brothers admitted to buying the NEET question paper from Yash Yadav, an Ayurvedic medicine student based in Gurugram. The deal was struck for a cost ranging between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 20 lakh. Currently, the CBI is questioning the three key accused—the brother duo Dinesh and Mangilal and Yash Yadav—to establish the sequence of events and match their statements. Sources have confirmed that the accused Yash Yadav was previously involved in cheating and paper leak activities and there is a possibility that he could be behind the NEET 2024 paper leak case.
