Narendra Modi says "swift and stringent punishment" for exam paper leaks after court action

The Delhi High Court has appointed a dedicated fast-track court under Judge Anu Grover Baliga to handle cases involving exam paper leaks and related misconduct, citing the 2024 anti-cheating law. This move came shortly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated online that the central government had resolved to create such courts to deliver rapid, severe consequences for those responsible. Modi added that protecting young people’s futures is a key priority and that officials have been instructed to take all necessary steps. The decision follows ongoing demonstrations over a contested leak in the NEET medical entrance test, with protesters calling for thorough investigations and systemic changes.
