Two more people from Patna have been arrested by the CBI in connection with the NEET-UG leak case.
In the bustling city of New Delhi, amidst the ongoing investigation into the leakage of the NEET-UG paper, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has made two more arrests. These arrests bring the total number of people arrested by the agency in connection to the case to 11. The news broke on Tuesday, leaving the nation in shock and disappointment.

The two individuals arrested by the CBI are Sunny, an aspirant from Nalanda, and Ranjit Kumar, the father of another candidate from Gaya. The agency has so far arrested eight people in Bihar for their involvement in the paper leak. Additionally, one person each has been arrested in relation to the alleged manipulation in the Latur and Godhra regions of Gujarat, and one from Dehradun for their role in the general conspiracy.

Prior to these recent developments, the CBI had already arrested the principal and vice principal of Oasis School in Hazaribagh. They were charged for providing safe premises to NEET candidates, where burnt question papers were later found by the Bihar Police. The CBI, which is currently investigating the irregularities in the medical entrance exam, has registered six FIRs. Of these, one is from Bihar, two from Gujarat, and one each from Rajasthan and Maharashtra. These FIRs are linked to impersonation of candidates and cheating.

In addition to these cases, the CBI has also launched its own FIR, based on a reference from the Union Education Ministry. The agency has launched a comprehensive investigation into the alleged irregularities in the examination. NEET-UG is a highly competitive entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admissions to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, and other related courses in government and private institutions. This year, the exam was held on May 5 at 4,750 centers in 571 cities, including 14 abroad. Over 23 lakh candidates appeared for the test, making it one of the most sought-after exams in the country.

This recent scandal has caused a stir in the education community and has raised concerns about the integrity of the examination process. The arrests made by the CBI are a step towards bringing justice and ensuring that such incidents do not occur in the future. The agency is determined to conduct a thorough investigation and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
