Prime Minister Narendra Modi released a selfie-style video celebrating Parliament's passage of the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. Calling paper leaks a decades-old problem affecting governments at both the Centre and states, he said the new law would safeguard students' futures and restore trust in India's examination system. The legislation introduces stricter penalties, including up to 10 years' imprisonment and heavy fines for those involved in paper leak networks. Modi said the government acted decisively against offenders and reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring transparent, fair, and credible public examinations across the country.
