Ai Generated Questions Sold As Neet Paper On Instagram Indore Law Student Arrested

The accused, identified as 19-year-old Akshay Malviya, a resident of Lasudia area and a student at an Indore law college, was arrested following inputs received from police in Rajasthan’s Kota, a major coaching hub for medical entrance aspirants.

Police said preliminary investigation suggests that around 20 to 35 students may have transferred money to the accused through UPI and other online payment platforms.

Investigators said the PDFs supplied to students were allegedly prepared using old NEET question papers, publicly available study material and generative artificial intelligence tools. The content was then packaged and marketed as authentic examination papers.

Police have seized the accused’s mobile phone and digital devices and recovered multiple PDFs, social media chats and records of online transactions. A case has been registered under provisions of the Information Technology Act and other relevant sections, officials said.

Crime Branch officers said the operation was deliberately kept confidential until the completion of the examination process to avoid disrupting the conduct of the test or creating panic among candidates.

The investigation is now focused on establishing whether the accused acted alone or was linked to a wider network operating across social media platforms.

The arrest comes amid heightened scrutiny of examination security following the cancellation of the NEET-UG 2025 examination held on May 3. The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced on May 12 that the test would be cancelled after allegations of a question paper leak surfaced in Rajasthan, prompting a CBI investigation.

Investigators have repeatedly warned candidates against claims of leaked papers being circulated on social media, saying such allegations and fake question papers often proliferate during periods of uncertainty surrounding high-stakes examinations.
