    In this article, we will provide the data-driven analysis from the NEET 2024 Results and NEET 2026 controversies, exposing why Sikar has become a hub for NEET scam.

    Sikar was in the news and making headlines during the NEET 2024 results as well, for large clusters of high-scoring candidates. At that time, the paper leakage report was acknowledged by the Supreme Court, but it says there is no strong evidence found to cancel the NEET UG 2024 examination.

    As per the data released by the anonymous student for an analysis, it is highlighted that the paper leak in NEET 2024 is an undisputed fact.

    These are the two brothers from Sikar who are accused in the NEET controversy. The picture of these two accused brothers with the minister standing between them has also drawn political attention. According to the congress, the BJP government was shielding the paper leak gang and unable to take strict action against this scam.

    The same two brothers now during the NEET 2026 controversy have found some connection with the paper leak allegations and are arrested by the CBI.

    These two brothers had a total of four children and all the four children got government medical seats in 2025 and at that time no paper leak allegations were out in the public but now in NEET 2026 case the same brothers have been arrested.

    Allegations made were that just before the day of the NEET 2026 exam students were given mock tests in which 140 questions were identical to the actual NEET exam in 2026 raising concerns about the corruption.
