India's Central Bureau of Investigation has filed charges against 13 people in connection with leaked question papers for the national medical college entrance test, days after youth-led protests over the scandal forced the education minister to quit.
About 2 million students had taken the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) in May before it was cancelled following allegations of test paper questions being leaked.
A re-test was held on Jun 21.
Those charged include three subject experts from the federal National Testing Agency, several middlemen who sourced and distributed the leaked questions, and two people associated with coaching institutes who obtained them, the federal police agency CBI said in a statement late on Wednesday, adding that all of them were detained in custody.
"The Central Bureau of Investigation has filed a charge sheet ... against 13 arrested accused for offences of criminal conspiracy, cheating, criminal breach of trust, destruction of evidence and others," it said.
