Delhi court dismisses NEET-UG doctor's bail; custody extended
A Delhi/Rouse Avenue court denied bail to Dr Manoj Bhagwanrao Shirure in the NEET-UG paper leak case and extended the judicial custody of all 13 accused to August 6, with the CBI portraying the leak as a national offence that damaged the country, led to student suicides, and caused about Rs 600 crore in losses; the defense contends that Shirure’s role cannot be proven from co-accused statements and evidence. The coverage across multiple outlets reiterates the same court decision, ongoing custody arrangements, and the prosecution’s emphasis on the broader national impact of the alleged conspiracy.
