New Delhi: In a decisive move to protect the nation's academic integrity, the Rajya Sabha passed the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, following its approval in the Lok Sabha. The Bill aims to impose stringent punishments on the 'paper mafia' responsible for leaks. Prime Minister Narendra Modi reinforced this stance, stating that anyone attempting to jeopardize the future of India's youth will face severe consequences. The session saw protests from the INDIA bloc, who walked out over unrelated student protests.
