NEET Paper Leak: Accused Yash Yadav Allowed to Take Re-Exam From Jail

NEET UG: Yash Yadav is among the key accused in the case of leakage of NEET-UG 2026 papers. The court of Delhi has permitted Yash Yadav to take the re-test on 21st June 2026. Although the request for interim bail of 15 days by Yash Yadav was rejected by Special Judge Vishal Gogne of the Rouse Avenue Court, it has been reported that Yash Yadav will have an opportunity to write the re-test of his medical entrance exam. The judge emphasized, in line with the idea that education is a fundamental right of individuals, that the individual's involvement in any case does not allow the use of the bail as a penalty against the accused's right to education.

This vital judicial decision allows the judiciary system to have a balance in terms of punishing the individual and allowing them a chance in life through providing an opportunity in their career path. The administration has ordered the prison department to provide the needed electronic means to ensure the safety transfer of the official hall ticket belonging to the applicant from the agency. Moreover, on the test day, a heavily armed police tactical force will escort the candidate to the venue located in Gurugram.

Background of the Case Against Yadav

Yadav has been one of 13 people arrested as part of the large-scale illegal ring that necessitated the cancellation of the exam held in May. The allegation matrix: According to officials at the CBI, Yadav has intercepted PDF documents of the leaked NEET-UG examination through Telegram from a BAMS student.

It is believed that he made money from the leak by selling the documents to a buyer from Jaipur at an approximate cost of ₹10 lakh. The CBI was strongly against his bail application, as there were concerns that a conspirator of a fraud case affecting the nation’s education system could use the time to destroy any evidence and escape arrest.

But since there were no grounds raised by NTA in relation to any technicality, and his admit card had already been issued for the exam, he could take the paper from jail.
