Here are the top health stories for the day:
Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday launched a sharp attack on the BJP-led Central government, accusing it of failing to fix accountability and act against those involved in the alleged scam. The political row has intensified after the National Testing Agency (NTA) cancelled the May 3 examination on May 12 following allegations of a coordinated paper leak affecting lakhs of aspirants across the country.
AAP leader and Leader of Opposition in the MCD House, Ankush Narang, alleged that despite repeated paper leak incidents under the BJP government, no concrete action has been taken against the accused, reports ANI.
In a post on X, he said the futures of lakhs of hardworking students had been jeopardised while the government continued to avoid responsibility. Narang also claimed that AAP councillors raised the issue during the MCD House meeting, but alleged that BJP Mayor Praveen Wahiya avoided discussion and adjourned the House after hurriedly passing the agenda.
Supreme Court Questions NTA Preparedness Amid Escalating NEET 2026 Leak Controversy

The bench was hearing petitions seeking the replacement of NTA with a new body constituted by an Act of Parliament amid NEET UG 2026 paper leak row and implementation of reforms recommended by the Radhakrishnan Committee after the NEET 2024 paper leak controversy.
