Lok Sabha Introduces Anti-Paper Leak Bill Amid Opposition Protests

Union Minister Jitendra Singh introduced the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, in the Lok Sabha on July 27, 2026, to combat examination irregularities.

The proposed legislation mandates investigation deadlines of two months and introduces penalties including jail terms of 5 to 10 years and fines reaching ₹10 crore for organised crime networks.

Speaker Om Birla announced a discussion on the Bill for 5 p.m. on Monday, while Opposition MPs continued protests demanding accountability for police action against students during the July 20 Parliament March.
