CBI Remands Four in NEET-UG Scandal: A Deep Dive Into Exam Fraud Allegations

A court remanded four accused in connection with alleged malpractices at the NEET-UG exam at a school in Godhra, Gujarat. The CBI needed custody of the suspects to further investigate their scheme of altering answer sheets. Five suspects are behind bars at Godhra sub-jail.

Four individuals implicated in alleged fraudulent activities surrounding the NEET-UG examination conducted near Godhra, Gujarat, have been remanded into the custody of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) until July 2. Initially arrested by Gujarat Police, the suspects include school staff and intermediaries.

The court did not approve the remand of education consultant Parsuram Roy, who remains jailed. Principal District Judge C K Chauhan granted the CBI's request for remand to facilitate a deeper probe by the agency. Despite prior investigations by local police, the CBI aims to uncover fresh evidence.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the accused orchestrated a cheating scheme by exploiting the overnight storage of answer sheets at Jay Jalaram School. Fresh raids and interrogations have unveiled a larger plot involving significant financial exchanges to manipulate exam outcomes.
