Patna, June 21: In the NEET paper leak case, Bihar’s Economic Offenses Unit (EOU) is currently searching for Atul Vats and Anshul Singh from Vaishali. According to police sources, evidence gathered so far suggests that Atul and Anshul are the masterminds behind the NEET paper leak in Bihar. They allegedly sent a copy of the question paper via WhatsApp to Amit Anand and Nitish Kumar, who then had the students memorize the questions at Khemnichak.
In addition to the question paper, the answer key was also provided through WhatsApp. During the interrogation of the arrested suspects, crucial information about Atul and Anshul has come to light, which the EOU is now verifying. A team from the EOU has been deployed to locate these two individuals. Their names have previously surfaced in connection with leaks of competitive examination papers.
Meanwhile, the Economic Offenses Unit investigating the NEET paper leak case will soon submit its report to the Central Government. The Ministry of Education has requested a detailed report from the EOU. There was significant activity in the EOU office on Thursday, with several rounds of meetings held by officials. The EOU team is compiling a report based on the evidence and statements collected so far in the NEET paper leak case, which will be submitted to the ministry shortly.
The arrested suspects, including candidates and members of the solver gang, have made several important confessions to the police. They admitted to memorizing the question paper before the exam. The candidates explained to the EOU how they were involved in the scheme and were made to memorize the answers while staying in a safe house in Patna. The police are continuing their investigation into the matter.
