The Lok Sabha passed the Public Examination Prevention of Unfair Means Amendment Bill 2026 by voice vote to curb paper leaks and protect students. The legislation includes strict penalties, such as up to ten years in prison, fines up to ten crore rupees, and an eight-year ban for involved companies, while enabling the recovery of examination costs and attachment of proceeds generated from organized crime.

While government representatives stated that only tear gas was deployed and no bullets were fired, police records accessed by India Today indicate that anti-riot guns loaded with non-lethal plastic pellets were used during the crowd control operation.
