Congress MP Hibi Eden on Monday described the alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG exam as the 'biggest scam' and urged for a high-level committee to investigate incidents of paper leaks.

Eden raised concerns in the Lok Sabha, saying India has seen a significant rise in competitive exam paper leaks in recent years. Official data reveals 70 exam papers have been leaked over the last seven years across 15 states.
