The fallout from the NEET paper leak continues to reshape India's examination system. In a major move, Maharashtra has established 23 special fast-track courts to hear 203 pending examination malpractice cases, including paper leaks, recruitment exam fraud, HSC cheating, and other examination-related offenses.

The decision follows widespread public outrage over the NEET paper leak controversy, which triggered nationwide student protests and renewed calls for stronger action against exam fraud.

The Bombay High Court has directed the newly constituted courts to make every effort to complete trials within three months of the filing of charge sheets, aiming to ensure faster justice.

NEET Paper Leak Crackdown | Maharashtra Launches 23 Fast-Track Courts For Exam Fraud Cases

The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), leading the nationwide protests over the NEET paper leak controversy, has reaffirmed its demand for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi announcing stricter measures against examination paper leaks. Activist Sonam Wangchuk has ended his 26-day hunger strike after receiving government assurances that no legal action would be taken against peaceful protesters. However, CJP leaders insist the protests will continue until the Education Minister steps down.

Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Saturday said the Centre has proposed to establish 1,023 fast track courts across the country for speedy trial of cases related to crime against women.

He said that these fast-track courts will be established with the help of the state governments.

"There is anger in the country about what is happening with our daughters and sisters. The judicial system must understand this anger and make arrangements for a speedy trial. The Indian government has proposed 1,023 fast-track courts with the help of states to deal with cases of rape and POCSO," said Prasad.

"The consensus has been reached for 400 FTCs and more than 160 FTCs are operational," added the minister.

"Moreover, there are more than 704 fast track courts already running in the country," said the minister. "There should be a timely evaluation of the functioning of fast track courts in the country," he added.

In view of the incidents in Unnao in Uttar Pradesh where a rape victim was set ablaze by her tormentors and she died on Friday night and the gangrape and killing of the veterinary doctor in Telangana, there is a nationwide outrage over the delay in bringing the guilty to book.&nbsp;

Telangana: Fast track court to deal with vet's rape case, CM promises stringent punishment to culprits

India&#39;s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken into its custody three accused in the case of rape of a woman and her minor girl in northern India&#39;s Bulandshahr city last month. 
 
CBI sources refused to disclose the identity of the accused who were taken into custody by it but said they would be produced in the fast-track court of Bulandshahr on August 23. 
 
North India&#39;s Uttar Pradesh state police had arrested six persons, including the prime suspect, in connection with the rape of the woman and her 13-year-old daughter while they were travelling from Noida to Shahjahanpur on the intervening night of July 29-30. 
 
The case was transferred to CBI on the instructions of the Allahabad High Court. The agency had registered a case yesterday and sent a team of forensic experts and deputy inspector general-ranked officer to the crime scene. 
 
UP police, which received flak from the Allahabad High Court, had claimed to have solved the blind case within nine days of the incident with arrest of Salim Bawariya, the head of a gang from &nbsp;north-western state of Rajasthan. 
 
On the basis of his interrogation, two other gang members - Zubair and Sajid - were arrested by the Special Task Force of UP police. Later, three more accused - Naresh (25), Bablu (22) and Rais (28) - were arrested.
