NEET paper leak case: Key accused’s MBBS daughter goes ‘missing’ as CBI closes in

Jaipur, May 15 (SocialNews.XYZ) The NEET paper leak scandal in Rajasthan is beginning to resemble a full-blown crime thriller, with every new revelation exposing another layer of an alleged education mafia that may have penetrated deep into the country’s medical admission system.

Now, the investigation has reached the corridors of Pandit Nawal Kishore Sharma Government Medical College in Dausa and at the centre of the latest twist is a young MBBS student who has suddenly vanished from campus. Pragati Biwal, a first-year MBBS student and daughter of arrested NEET paper leak accused Mangilal Biwal, has reportedly gone “missing” from the college soon after the CBI intensified its crackdown on the family.

According to sources, Pragati quietly submitted a leave application and left the campus immediately after the arrests of her father and uncle, Dinesh Biwal, both considered key figures in the growing paper leak scandal. For the past two days, Pragati has not attended classes, and her sudden disappearance has sparked intense speculation within academic circles and among investigators.

While family members insist she secured admission through merit and hard work, the timing of her exit has raised uncomfortable questions. What has particularly caught the attention of investigators is the extraordinary number of medical admissions within the same family.

The CBI is now reportedly scrutinising the academic records and admission history of multiple members of the Biwal family to determine whether the alleged NEET paper leak network was used to secure seats in prestigious medical colleges.

The list is striking: Pragati Biwal is studying MBBS in Dausa. Her brother Vikas is enrolled at Sawai Madhopur Medical College. Her cousin Saniya studies at SMS Medical College, Jaipur. Another cousin, Palak, is pursuing medical education in Mumbai. Gunjan, another family member, is studying medicine in Banaras.

Investigators are now trying to determine whether this concentration of medical admissions in one family is merely exceptional academic success or evidence of something far more sinister.

Meanwhile, the CBI has intensified searches at the family’s properties in Jamwaramgarh, Jaipur.

On Thursday, teams conducted raids at the residence of the accused brothers, Mangilal and Dinesh Biwal, in Khatik Mohalla. Sources say no male family members were present during the operation, prompting investigators to question the women of the household, including the accused’s mother and wives, for several hours.

The agency also searched a nearby farmhouse, examined luxury vehicles parked at the premises, and seized several important documents believed to be linked to the racket.

The investigation has now spread beyond Rajasthan, with arrests already made in Maharashtra.

So far, seven people have been arrested in connection with the NEET paper leak case, while five accused, including Dinesh Biwal, Mangilal Biwal, and Vikas, have been sent to seven-day CBI custody.

The CBI is also searching for Dinesh Biwal’s son, Rishi, a NEET aspirant this year, who is reportedly absconding.

As the probe widens, investigators suspect the scandal may be much larger than initially believed, potentially involving a well-organised network manipulating one of India’s most competitive entrance examinations.

With an MBBS student mysteriously 'disappearing' from her college campus just as the investigation closes in on her family, the NEET paper leak case has taken yet another dramatic turn, one that could expose what may become Rajasthan’s biggest education scam in recent memory.
