Yash Yadav, a first-year BAMS student from Khurampur village in Rajasthan, was arrested by police for allegedly possessing a ‘guess paper’ used in the NEET-UG exam. The 98% CBSE scorer, whose name appears on the banner of Oxford Convent School in Gurgaon as a top achiever, is accused of selling the paper for Rs 15-20 lakh to Dinesh Biwal and others in Rajasthan.
Neighbours described Yash as a humble and hardworking student, son of a farmer. His family, including siblings pursuing higher education, was taken aback by the arrest. A senior Rajasthan police source stated Yash had access to the ‘guess paper’ as early as April 26 and later connected with other suspects during his medical coaching in Sikar. Investigators are tracing his bank transactions to identify further links.
The ‘guess paper’ contained 45 chemistry and 90 biology questions that appeared in the NEET-UG exam held on May 3. Sources indicate the paper was circulated widely by suspects, affecting lakhs of medical aspirants. CBI arrested three members of the Biwal family in Jaipur recently, allegedly connected to the leak. Investigators are also probing Yash’s potential ties to the 2024 NEET paper leak.
Despite claims of innocence from neighbours, Yash remains in police custody. A local resident, Kapil Yadav, noted the family’s financial struggles and emphasized Yash’s academic record. “He is a decent boy,” he said. The case has cast uncertainty over this year’s NEET-UG results, with the exam postponed for re-testing.
