The CBI has filed its first charge sheet in the alleged NEET UG examination paper leak case naming 13 people as accused, officials said Thursday.
The charge sheet lists that the accused were allegedly involved in the paper leak and other irregularities, they said.
The CBI has kept the probe open, they said.
The central probe agency, which is investigating the alleged irregularities in the medical entrance exam, has lodged six FIRs.
