Congress slams Modi government over CBI counsel’s no-show in fast-track court in paper leak case
The Congress party, led by Jairam Ramesh, criticized the Modi government after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) failed to send a legal representative to the inaugural hearing of a Special Fast Track Court in Delhi's Rouse Avenue complex on July 27, 2026. The court was established to handle the NEET UG 2026 paper leak case. The absence forced an immediate adjournment, prompting the court to direct the director of prosecution to appoint a public prosecutor. The Delhi High Court had designated the fast-track court on July 23 following Prime Minister Modi's announcement amid protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which demanded education reforms and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmandra Pradhan. Pradhan resigned on July 25, leading to the end of the protests. Ramesh questioned the government's credibility in touting fast-track courts as a solution to paper leaks when its own investigative agency showed no initiative.
