Cabinet to announce tougher NEET leak measures amid protests
Prime Minister Narendra Modi signaled in late-night remarks that the Cabinet would consider stronger anti-leak measures, including fast-track courts. He said Friday’s Cabinet meeting would announce tougher actions to curb paper leaks as protests over the NEET leak continue. The government is pressing for swift trials, harsher penalties, and greater ministerial accountability to restore trust in the exam process. A CJP delegation has been staging sit-ins at Jantar Mantar and is demanding the Education Minister’s resignation and a systemic overhaul. The Delhi High Court announced the creation of fast-track courts to hear such cases, aligning with government efforts to accelerate action. Overall, authorities are pursuing a mix of court-backed fast-tracking, stricter punishments, and political accountability in response to the protests and leaks.
