NEET Paper Leak Scandal: Allegations Point to Tejashwi Yadav's Links

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha has alleged that the prime accused in the NEET paper leak scandal has connections to officials associated with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. Sinha demands an investigation into these links as more suspects are being interrogated by the Economic Offences Unit (EOU).

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha has made serious allegations tying the prime accused in the NEET paper leak scandal to officials close to RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. During a press conference on Thursday, Sinha claimed that the arrested official was in constant communication with Sikander Prasad Yadvendu, the main accused.

'The official linked to Yadav facilitated accommodation for Sikander at various guest houses in Patna and beyond,' Sinha revealed, presenting alleged evidence of messages involving these arrangements. Sinha insists that a thorough investigation is essential.

'Why is Tejashwi Prasad maintaining complete silence on this matter?' questioned Sinha. Reports suggest that the accused was connected to RJD supremo Lalu Prasad during his judicial custody in Ranchi.

This follows the arrest of 13 individuals by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) last month over the NEET-UG 2024 paper leak. The detainees included examinees, their parents, and alleged mastermind Sikander Prasad Yadvendu. 'The entire sequence of events demonstrates a pattern of corruption among RJD leaders,' Sinha alleged.

The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) is actively continuing the investigation and has summoned seven more candidates. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is considering demands from a group of candidates for a fresh NEET exam due to the procedural irregularities.
