“No Doctor Arrested, 4 Students Taken Away By CBI Team,” Says AIIMS Patna Executive Director And CEO On NEET Irregularities

Patna (Bihar) [India]: Reacting to the NEET-UG irregularities matter, AIIMS Patna Executive Director and CEO Dr Gopal Krushna Pal said that no doctor has been arrested, but according to the information available, as many as four students have been taken away by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team.

“No doctor has been arrested, but as per the information available, the CBI team has taken away four students. One of these students was not at the hostel. He himself reported to them later. So, going by the information we have received, a total of four students are with the CBI. One of their senior officers had earlier shared the names of all students involved in the NEET scam, along with their photos and mobile numbers,” said the AIIMS Patna Executive Director and CEO.

Dr Pal emphasised that help and cooperation have been provided regarding the investigation underway.

“We have cooperated regarding all the help they needed. We will continue to cooperate. The students haven’t returned yet. We don’t know about the involvement of students, or how they got involved, or whether they are guilty. The students are Chandan Singh, Rahul Anand, Karan Jain, and Kumar Sanu. Chandan Singh is a resident of Siwan (Bihar), Kumar Sanu is a resident of Patna (Bihar), Rahul Anand is actually from Dhanbad (Jharkhand) but now lives in Patna, and Karaa Jain is from Araria (Bihar). Yesterday, CBI told us to seal their rooms. CBI has sealed three rooms, and we sealed one room,” the AIIMS Patna Executive Director and CEO added.

Notably, the apex court has seized a batch of pleas seeking direction to recall NEET-UG 2024 results and to conduct the examination afresh, alleging paper leakage and malpractices in the test held.

Aspirants had approached the top court and raised the issue of leakage of the question paper, awarding compensatory marks and anomalies in the NEET-UG.

The NEET-UG examination, conducted by the NTA, is the pathway for admissions into MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, and other related courses in government and private institutions across the country.

The NEET-UG, 2024 was held across 4,750 centres on May 5, and around 24 lakh candidates appeared for the exam.
