Why was NEET-UG 2026 cancelled?

The move comes days after investigators uncovered evidence that a question set described by officials as a “guess paper” was circulated among candidates weeks before the exam and reportedly contained a large number of questions that closely resembled the actual NEET paper.According to investigators, a document containing approximately 410 questions was circulating among students between 15 days to a month before the exam. Officials said around 120 questions from the Chemistry section reportedly exactly matched the actual exam paper.Officials also claimed that the material was shared through WhatsApp groups around 42 hours before the exam. The Special Operations Group (SOG) of Rajasthan Police, which is leading the preliminary investigation, began the probe after reports emerged that the material circulated showed “striking similarities” with the questions asked in the exam.SOG additional director general Vishal Bansal said investigators were probing whether the material was merely a test series or part of a larger organized fraud racket. “Our investigation is currently focused on determining whether any fraudulent or criminal activity has taken place based on this estimate letter,” Bansal said, as reported by ANI.“We are actively investigating this matter and are currently engaged in the investigative process. No, as of now, we have not made any arrests of any kind.”Bansal said investigators found a set of more than 400 questions circulated a few days before the exam, in which more than 100 biology and chemistry questions showed “striking similarities” with questions asked in NEET.Bansal described it as a “guess paper” or test series, but sources said a deep nexus has not been ruled out, citing searches and interrogations in several cities of Rajasthan and Dehradun.Similar videos and copies of test-series question papers were also shared on social media from a coaching academy in Latur, Maharashtra.

us President donald trump Chinese President said Xi Jinping Wants the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened, as the two leaders discussed the ongoing Iran conflict and global energy disruptions during high-level talks in Beijing.Speaking to Fox News after his meeting with Xi, Trump said the two leaders agreed that the strategically important shipping route, closed since the Iran war began in late February, should be reopened to stabilize global energy supplies.“He would like to see the Strait of Hormuz open,” Trump said of Xi. “He said if I can help in any way, I’d like to help.”About 20 percent of the world’s oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz before the conflict began, with the prolonged disruption causing global crude prices to rise sharply and raising fears of a broader economic recession.Trump said Xi opposed any proposal to impose tolls on ships transiting the strait and expressed interest in China potentially buying more US oil in the future to reduce its dependence on Gulf energy supplies.

Iran, economy dominate Trump-Xi talks

The Iran conflict emerged as a major focus during the two-hour meeting between the leaders at the Great Hall of the People, although Trump had downplayed the issue before visiting Beijing.US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said before the summit that Washington would urge Beijing to pressure Tehran to end the conflict.“Economies are melting down because of this crisis,” Rubio said, as quoted by the AP, warning that prolonged instability would ultimately hurt Chinese exports as well.China has publicly criticized US and Israeli attacks on Iran, but analysts say Beijing enjoys considerable leverage as Iran’s largest trading partner.

Despite tensions, Trump praised relations with Xi

Concluding his visit, Trump stressed that relations between Washington and Beijing were improving despite disagreements over Iran, Taiwan and trade.In the Truth Social post, Trump claimed Xi had congratulated him on his administration’s “tremendous successes” and said the Chinese leader’s comments about America being a “declining nation” were directed at former President Joe Biden rather than the current administration.“Two years ago, we were truly a nation in decline,” Trump wrote. “But now, the United States is the hottest nation in the world.”Xi also hosted Trump at Zhongnanhai, a Chinese leadership compound usually reserved for special diplomatic engagements, which observers saw as a personal gesture toward the US president.

Taiwan remains a major flashpoint

Despite the cordial public tone, Taiwan remained a sensitive issue during the summit.According to news agency AP, Xi privately warned Trump that mishandling the Taiwan issue could push the two countries toward “conflict and even conflict.”Rubio later said that US policy on Taiwan would remain “unchanged” and warned that it would be “a terrible mistake” for China to attempt to take over the self-ruled island by force.Trump and Xi also discussed potential trade deals, including increasing Chinese purchases of American agricultural products and Boeing aircraft, as both sides sought to ease economic tensions amid broader geopolitical uncertainty.

France unveiled a talent-packed squad for the upcoming World Cup on Thursday, although there was one key name missing from Didier Deschamps’ final selection – Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. Ranked No. 1 in the latest FIFA Men’s World Rankings, France enter the tournament as one of the strongest contenders.

FIFA World Cup 2026 coverage

Captain Kylian Mbappe headlines the team alongside attacking stars Ousmane Dembele and Michael Olise. The midfield will feature Aurelien Tchoumeni and the experienced N’Golo Kante, while the defense consists of William Saliba, Jules Kounde and Theo Hernandez. Mike Maignan will serve as the team’s first-choice goalkeeper.

Despite being part of France’s runner-up squad at the 2022 World Cup and featuring in March international fixtures, Camavinga failed to make the final 26-man list. At club level, he has recently fallen behind Thiago Pitarch in Real Madrid’s midfield pecking order.

“He had a difficult season where he played less. He also had injuries,” Deschamps was quoted as saying by Reuters. “It is true that he is a player who came to us very early. He is still a young player.

“Because I also have options to build the team structure, there should be equality between defenders, midfielders and forwards. But I understand and I imagine their huge disappointment this evening.”

Deschamps chose Brice Samba and Robin Risser as Maignan’s students, the latter gaining recognition after an impressive Ligue 1 campaign. His inclusion meant there was no room for Lucas Chevalier, who lost his starting role at Paris Saint-Germain to Matvei Safonov earlier this year.

Before heading to their World Cup training base in Boston, France are scheduled to play warm-up matches against Ivory Coast and Northern Ireland. Their Group I campaign begins against Senegal on June 16, followed by matches against Iraq on June 22 and Norway on June 26.

Other high-profile omissions include Tottenham forward Randal Kolo Muani and Rennes striker Esteban Lepaul, who finished as Ligue 1’s top scorer this season. Meanwhile, Jean-Philippe Mateta was recalled despite missing the March friendlies while recovering from a knee injury. He is expected to help cover for the absence of Hugo Ekitike, who has been ruled out with a ruptured Achilles tendon.

The tournament is also expected to mark Deschamps’ final World Cup in charge of France. The manager led Les Bleus to World Cup glory in 2018 and is widely tipped to hand over the reins to French icon Zinedine Zidane after the competition. France had previously won the trophy on home soil in 1998.

NFL Trade Rumors: The Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers have emerged as potential suits for the All-Pro wide receiver (Getty).

The future of Tyreek Hill has quietly become one of the biggest stories surrounding the current NFL trade rumors. The veteran wide receiver is still unsigned after battling a serious knee injury last season, and many teams around the league continue to debate whether he can still change the game at age 32.Despite the uncertainty, contenders continue to watch closely. That’s why the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers have now emerged as two realistic landing spots for Hill before training camp begins. Both teams want to compete for the playoffs immediately, and both offenses still need another proven playmaker.

NFL trade rumors: Ravens and Chargers linked to Tyreek Hill as free agency questions continue

On May 14, LWOS analyst Anthony Palacios named the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers as teams that could still make sense for Tyreek Hill. The discussion gained momentum after NFL insider Jason La Canfora shared an anonymous general manager’s candid assessment during a SportsBoom interview discussing Hill’s market.“If he can’t get on top of the defense now, why are you bringing him in?” The GM told La Canfora. “I think he’ll have to wait a long time. That’s not an option for us.”That quote spread quickly because it highlighted the biggest concern surrounding Hill. Teams are unsure whether the explosiveness that made him dangerous in Kansas City and Miami is still there after the injury.Still, the Baltimore Ravens seem to be a natural fit. Baltimore has repeatedly targeted veteran receivers in recent years while building around Lamar Jackson. The front office previously added names like Odell Beckham Jr., DeSean Jackson and DeAndre Hopkins in hopes of strengthening the passing attack.The Ravens already have Jay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, but Hill could still add another layer to the offense. Baltimore no longer needs him to dominate in goal. The team just needs him to create matchup problems at critical moments during playoff games.Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers are also standing out for an important reason. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniels already knows Hill well from their time together in Miami. That familiarity could make Los Angeles more comfortable taking a short-term gamble on the veteran receiver.The Chargers also haven’t added any other key veteran players this offseason. Right now, the offense is still relying heavily on Ladd McConkey to carry the receiving unit.Nothing seems imminent yet, but once training camp injuries start popping up around the league, Tyreek Hill trade rumors could become serious again.

Who is Chud Builder? Controversial producer Dalton Eatherly is linked to the viral chaos and the Tennessee shooting investigation (Image via Getty)

Internet personality “Chud the Builder” has once again found himself at the center of controversy after investigators linked him to a shooting outside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville, Tennessee. Two people were injured after the confrontation near the courthouse turned violent, officials said. Although the investigation is still ongoing, the case has thrust the online creator back into the national spotlight and sparked new debate about Internet fame built on shocking content.The man behind the viral nickname is 28-year-old livestreamer Dalton Eatherly, who is known for posting chaotic and confrontational videos online. Over the years, Earthly attracted attention through public stunts, offensive jokes, heated livestream arguments, and content described by many viewers as “anger-bait”. His videos were often created to generate strong reactions, which helped the clips spread quickly on social media platforms.Some saw his content as satire, while others believed he often crossed the line. Either way, his online image became closely associated with controversy. His stream regularly featured tense conversations with strangers, disruptive behavior, and comments that drew backlash online. As his name spread across Internet communities, so did criticism regarding the content rewarded on social media.

Dalton Eatherly’s viral “Chudd the Builder” persona and past legal disputes

Long before the court investigation made headlines, Dalton Eatherly had dealt with legal problems in Tennessee. Earlier reports from Nashville authorities said Etherly was charged with refusing to pay a restaurant bill that reportedly totaled close to $400. Police said the situation later became disruptive and resulted in charges being laid that included disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and theft of services.The earlier case had already placed him under public scrutiny, but the latest courthouse shooting investigation has drawn even more attention to his online behavior and public image. Authorities have not closed the investigation, and many details related to the Clarksville shooting are still being reviewed by authorities.Meanwhile, online discussions quickly escalated beyond the incident. Critics are asking whether Internet creators who grow audiences through outrage and provocation are, you know, promoting dangerous behavior in the real world. Others say that controversial creators are rewarded with more views, more attention, and larger audiences every time a dramatic event occurs.The name “Chud the Builder” has now become part of a broader conversation about influencer culture, livestream fame, and how Internet personalities can blur the line between online performance and real-world consequences. While supporters continue to defend Eartherly by saying that their content was meant for entertainment, or perhaps just to troll viewers, critics believe that the repeated controversies show a worrying pattern.Even as investigators investigate the Clarksville Courthouse shooting, the public’s focus on Dalton Eatherly and his online persona is only growing stronger.

New Delhi/Mumbai: The CBI has significantly expanded its NEET-UG-2026 paper leak probe, with investigators now focused on a possible “insider role”, even as another suspect was arrested from Pune and a retired chemistry professor detained in Latur.As the total arrests rose to seven, sources said investigators were trying to find out whether there was a breach from within the main chain of high security, custody and access ahead of the medical entrance exams being canceled on May 3 due to the leak.CBI officials are seeking information from NTA, which conducts NEET, about every stakeholder who had access to the question paper before it was sealed. It includes details of the entire process of question preparation including information about the people who set the questions and the subject experts, professors and teachers included in the question preparation panel. Separately, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan held a high-level meeting at his Delhi residence late on Thursday night with top officials on the new NEET exam, the dates of which will be announced later.In Pune, the CBI on Thursday identified the suspect arrested as beauty parlor owner Manisha Waghmare, who was picked up from Sukhsagar Nagar area of ​​the city.Waghmare had allegedly acted as an intermediary for Dhananjay, a BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) passout who ran a consultancy in Pune and was one of the six people arrested on Wednesday – three from Jaipur and one each from Gurgaon, and Maharashtra’s Nashik and Ahilya Nagar. Waghmare allegedly received money from around two dozen bank accounts before the trial.The CBI said it conducted searches at 14 locations on Thursday, the action came after those arrested were produced in court and sent on seven-day remand for questioning. An officer said, “Several other suspects are being interrogated. More arrests will be made in the coming days. The CBI is following all the leads.”The retired chemistry teacher detained for questioning by the CBI in Latur was from Dayanand Sagar College, officials said. Sources said the person had access to the entire NEET question paper as part of the translation panel responsible for presenting the paper in Marathi. NEET is conducted in 13 languages, requiring multiple parallel translation workflows under strict confidentiality protocols.Officials declined to disclose the professor’s identity or specify his exact role, citing the sensitivity of the investigation. Latur, long considered a coaching center that attracts students from across Maharashtra, has emerged as a focal point in the investigation. The complaint filed by a parent at the SP office two days ago alleged that 42 questions in the mock test conducted by a private coaching institute in the city matched the NEET paper.In Rajasthan, investigators suspect Dinesh Biwal, one of the three arrested from the state, of scanning the hard copy of the leaked NEET paper and sharing it digitally. He allegedly obtained the paper for his son from Yash Yadav, another arrested suspect from Gurgaon, and later gave or sold it to other students known to him in Sikar district.In Delhi, where some of the suspects were remanded by a local court, the CBI alleged a “larger conspiracy” behind the nationwide leaks. The agency told the court that custodial interrogation was necessary to nab other culprits, recover digital devices and electronic evidence, unearth financial clues and “identify possible officials of NTA” involved in the crime.(Inputs from Dishank Purohit in Jaipur and Kaushiki Saha in Delhi)
