NEW DELHI — Following a 2026 national medical entrance exam paper leak that precisely mirrored the 2024 NEET-UG paper leak, authorities took decisive action on Tuesday by forcibly detaining fasting activists, including civil society leaders Sonam Wangchuk and Abhijeet Dipke.

"We are committed to ensuring fair and transparent examinations for all students," said a spokesperson for the National Testing Agency, speaking from a secure administrative building where no senior officials have been questioned. "When we observed that this protest had reached the 21st day of a hunger strike, exactly two days before a planned march to Parliament, we realized the demonstration posed a severe threat to our ongoing strategy of downplaying systemic failures."

Police deployment records indicate the swift intervention successfully prevented any immediate accountability for the Union Education Minister, whose resignation has been repeatedly demanded by students across the country. According to departmental guidelines, the structural response to widespread administrative corruption involves categorically denying the issue exists, followed by the immediate detention of anyone attempting to walk toward a government office to complain about it.

At press time, dozens of officers remained stationed outside the activists' hospital rooms to ensure they did not inadvertently compromise the pristine integrity of the state's public relations strategy.
