According to the complaint, a private coaching institute in Latur had allegedly conducted a mock test for its students before the conduct of NEET (UG)-2026. The surprising thing is that 42 questions of the mock test allegedly matched exactly with the questions asked in the actual exam. In the complaint, doubts have been raised about the involvement of the coaching institute in this widespread question paper leak network. Taking these claims seriously, Superintendent of Police Amol Tambe has directed Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Sameer Singh Salve to immediately investigate and initiate legal action against the culprits. Latur police administration has appealed to the people to come forward with any information or evidence related to the NEET question paper leak case.
