Jaipur: The NEET-UG 2026 paper leak probe has now cast a shadow over an entire family after investigators found that multiple members of the Biwal family, all linked to the three accused arrested by the CBI, secured admission to medical colleges and are currently pursuing MBBS courses in Rajasthan and other parts of the country.The CBI on Wednesday arrested Dinesh Biwal, his brother Mangilal Biwal and Mangilal’s son Vikas Biwal in the paper leak case.Police sources said investigators grew suspicious “from day one” after discovering that four members of the same family cracked NEET and entered medical colleges.Investigators are now examining whether the admissions of the family members had any connection to the alleged leak racket.According to preliminary findings, Vikas Biwal is a first-year student at Sawai Madhopur Medical College, while his sister is enrolled at Dausa Medical College. Another relative, the daughter of Mangilal’s deceased brother Ghanshyam, is a student at SMS Medical College in Jaipur, while Ghanshyam’s other daughter is studying at a medical college in Mumbai. Sources said there could be another family member studying at a medical college, but the CBI took over the case before state agencies could corroborate the information.The development has intensified scrutiny around the family after some people reportedly unearthed old social media posts by Dinesh Biwal, in which he claimed that five children from his family secured admission to medical colleges. Agencies, however, said they were still verifying the claim.Investigators found that all of them attended the same coaching institute in Sikar, though sources later claimed they were enrolled only for mock test series. Officials said all three appeared in the 2025 NEET-UG examination.“There is no direct evidence yet that they cleared the examination using leaked papers, but the fact that five members of one family secured MBBS admissions in the same period naturally raises questions, especially when the family itself is now linked to an alleged paper leak syndicate,” a senior official said on condition of anonymity.Sources said investigators suspect Dinesh paid money to procure the leaked NEET-UG 2026 question paper from another accused, Gurgaon-based Yash Yadav, to benefit his son. Another family member, whose identity has not been disclosed, was also preparing for NEET, sources added.The CBI has already taken Dinesh, Mangilal and Vikas to New Delhi for further interrogation. A CBI team also reached the family’s house in Jamwa-Ramgarh near Jaipur as part of the investigation.As television crews and reporters gathered outside the residence after the arrests on Thursday, family members strongly denied the allegations. Speaking to local media, the wives of Dinesh and Mangilal insisted their children earned their seats through hard work and claimed the accusations were baseless.
