The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a case to investigate the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (UG) (NEET-UG) examination paper leak held on May 3. The CBI formed special teams at various locations as part of the probe.
Over 2 million students across 551 cities in India and 15 cities abroad appeared for the NEET-UG conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on May 3. The examination has been cancelled by the Centre over paper leak.
The CBI has taken up the matter for a comprehensive investigation to ascertain the nature and extent of the alleged irregularities, and the involvement of individuals and entities connected therewith.
Special CBI teams have been formed and dispatched to various locations for investigation. The agency has invoked the prevention of corruption act, and the role of government officers in the leak is not being ruled out as of now.
