Manushi Chhillar Recalls Giving NEET Exam Twice Due to Paper Leak, Backs Student Protests: ‘Accepted Failure in System’

The judge said 60 pages of earlier specimens were not enough for a full forensic comparison in the NEET-UG paper leak probe.

  • On Wednesday, a Delhi court authorized the Central Bureau of Investigation to collect additional handwriting and signature samples from physics professor Manisha Sanjay Havaldar in the ongoing NEET-UG 2026 examination paper leak investigation.
  • The Government Examiner of Questioned Documents indicated that around 60 pages of specimen handwriting previously obtained proved inadequate for forensic comparison, prompting the CBI to request additional samples.
  • Defense counsel Akhil Rexwal argued the CBI failed to disclose why initial specimens were insufficient, while Havaldar allegedly leaked handwritten physics questions to co-accused Manisha Mandhare.
  • Special CBI judge Ajay Gupta instructed the jail superintendent to facilitate sample collection over three days between July 27 and 29, with an independent witness present during the process.
  • Nationwide student protests against NEET paper leaks have gained momentum, with the Cockroach Janta Party calling for demonstrations on Friday, July 24, amid public concern over education system integrity.
