Images and videos of a Telegram group named 'CLAT Exam 2026' are circulating online, suggesting that the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2026 paper was leaked.
A pinned message on the group read, "Paid valo ko personal mai Paper + Answer Key de di hai" (users who paid received the paper and answer key in their personal chat).
Telegram shows an 'edited' banner on messages that have been edited. The messages of the CLAT Exam 2026 group do not feature this banner.
While some social media users called for re-examination and investigation, others dismissed the messages as being fake, claiming that there are various methods to backdate messages and edit previously sent images on such public groups.
Bar & Bench has reached out to the CLAT Consortium for their comment regarding the alleged paper leak on December 12. At the time of publication of this story, no response has been received.
