The NEET-UG examination scandal, which emerged after a whopping 67 students achieved a perfect score, has led to a massive investigation, which is now been handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
On Saturday (22 June), officials from Bihar Police’s Economic Offences Unit arrested five people from Jharkhand’s Deoghar district, including one who it says is the “architect” of the alleged NEET (UG) 2024 question paper leak.
Here’s what investigations into the ‘leak’ have revealed so far.
The five arrested
On Saturday (22 June), the Bihar Police’s Economic Offences Unit arrested five members from a house near AIIMS-Deoghar in Devipur police station area. The five arrested were identified as Paramjit Singh alias Bittu, Chintu alias Baldev Kumar, Kaju alias Prashant Kumar, Ajit Kumar, Rajiv Kumar alias Karu, all residents of Nalanda district of Bihar, and Panku Kumar, according to a statement issued by the Deoghar Police.
“The Bihar Police gave us a tip-off. On our identification, they were taken into custody. All the suspects have been taken to Bihar,” SDPO (Deoghar Sadar) Ritvik Srivastava told PTI.
Of the five, Baldev Kumar, who also goes by Chintu, is a close associate of Sanjeev Mukhiya, believed to be the kingpin of an inter-state gang. Incidentally, Mukhiya is also at large at present. An NDTV report has said that Mukhiya may have fled to Nepal after the NEET-UG exam paper scandal broke out.
