Claim of NEET Paper Cracking in Bihar, Govt Denies
Amid allegations of irregularities in the NEET exam, the biggest question is whether his paper was leaked. The National Testing Agency i.e. NTA which conducts the exam and the government are not ready to accept the paper leak. Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told the media on 13 June 2024 that there was no evidence of a paper leak.
Three days later on June 16, the Education Minister admitted the irregularities for the first time while talking to the news agency ANI. He said, ‘Some irregularities have come to light in two places regarding NEET. I assure the students that the government has taken this seriously. NTA officials will not be spared if found guilty.
On the other hand, in Bihar, the accused of paper footing are being arrested. The police have complete information about when and how the paper was leaked. Links to the paper-leaking gang are being traced to UP, Gujarat and Delhi.
Investigated claims of paper-footage in UP, Bihar and Gujarat. The facts found in this strengthen Paperfoot’s claim. FIRs have also been registered in Godhra in Gujarat, Patna in Bihar and Delhi regarding examination day irregularities.
The FIR registered in Patna clearly shows that the paper leaking gang had already received the NEET questions. In Patna, the students were made to stop at one place and memorize the answers to the questions. At the same time an examination center was started in Godhra itself. The accused charged candidates up to Rs 10 lakh for writing their answers.
Apart from NEET investigated the pattern of paper leaks in the two major exams that preceded it, the police recruitment exam in UP and the teacher recruitment exam in Bihar. It found three things in common.
1. From leaking papers to dealing money with students, the pattern is same. There are some names common among all the paper cracked papers of all the three exams.
2. In all these three cases, the paper has been exposed during transportation.
3. Besides taking advance money from the students, the gang took away their mark sheets, Aadhaar card, PAN card, check book and other documents. As soon as I got the paper, I took it to the safe house and memorized the answers at night.
