The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is intensifying its probe into the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case. Among those initially questioned by the Rajasthan Police's Special Operations Group (SOG) was Satya Narayan Choudhary, also known as SN Choudhary, a former coaching operator from Sikar district who had previously come under scrutiny.
Choudhary's Links Under Examination
Although the CBI has not taken any direct action against Choudhary so far, officials confirmed that his connections with the arrested Biwal family and his role in Sikar's coaching ecosystem remain under investigation. Sources indicated that Choudhary was among those questioned on Tuesday.
According to sources, three children from the family of arrested accused Dinesh Biwal and Mangilal Biwal had studied at Choudhary's coaching institute while preparing for NEET-UG 2025. Officials noted that Choudhary prominently featured these students in promotional posters issued by his institute.
Political Connections and Allegations
Speaking on condition of anonymity, officials claimed that, similar to the Biwal family, Choudhary allegedly enjoyed strong political connections and was frequently seen at political functions linked to a political party. Investigators also discovered that although the coaching institute remained shut for a considerable period, its signboards and promotional materials continued to be displayed outside the premises.
Choudhary, popularly known among students as 'Bhai Sir,' taught chemistry to aspirants preparing for NEET, JEE, and Classes 10 and 12. He began his career in Sikar's competitive coaching industry before becoming associated with multiple institutes over the years.
Institute Operations and Closure
In 2024, Choudhary and an associate reportedly launched a coaching institute on Piprali Road in Sikar but later separated due to internal disputes. Subsequently, he started Deep Career Institute at Sanskar Heights on Piprali Road. Sources said the institute began operations around March 2025 but shut down within months, reportedly by November 2025. Local residents and shopkeepers claimed the institute effectively remained closed since October-November last year. Despite the closure, posters and banners outside the institute continued to remain in place, giving the impression that the centre was still operational.
Academic Material and Background
Investigators also learned about Choudhary's academic material, particularly a 'guess paper' or module circulated under the title 'The Master Stroke.' Sources claimed the material was marketed as a predictive module covering likely NEET questions. After the closure of Deep Career Institute, Choudhary briefly worked at another coaching institute in Sikar before later moving to a coaching institute in Ladnun. Sources claimed Choudhary was originally from the Panditpura area under Bandikui in Dausa district, though officials said this detail has not yet been verified.
