Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on July 23, 2026, that the Indian government will establish fast-track courts specifically to handle cases of examination paper leaks. In a post on X, Modi stated the courts aim to ensure swift and stringent punishment for those involved, comparing them to existing fast-track courts for MPs/MLAs. The announcement comes amid major protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) over the NEET-UG paper leak. Modi emphasized that nothing is more important than the welfare and future of the youth and directed authorities to take all necessary steps. He added that those who harm students' futures will not be spared, framing the move as part of a series of steps to safeguard student interests.
