First Arrests Made in NEET-UG Paper Leak Case

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has made significant progress in the NEET-UG paper leak case by arresting two individuals from Patna. Manish Kumar and Ashutosh Kumar are accused of facilitating leaked papers and answer keys to aspirants before the exam, allegedly providing safe locations for distribution.

The CBI, which has filed six FIRs in connection with the case, took over the investigation following demands from protesting students and concerns over exam irregularities. NEET-UG, a crucial examination for medical and dental admissions, saw participation from over 23 lakh candidates across numerous centres in India and abroad on May 5.
