Ranchi. In the NEET-UG Paper Leak Case, the CBI has detained Surabhi Kumari, a first year student of Ranchi-based medical college RIMS. Surabhi is said to be a member of the solver gang, which prepared the answer to the leaked question paper. The CBI team detained her after questioning late on Thursday evening. The agency has also taken information about the student from RIMS Students Welfare Dean Dr. Shiv Priya. In this case, some more medicos of Ranchi may come under the purview of CBI investigation. The CBI arrested four medical students of Patna AIIMS associated with the solver gang on Thursday morning. After this, clues were found about other members of the gang.
The RIMS student detained by the agency is a resident of Ara in Ramgarh district. She had secured 56th rank in the NEET exam last year. According to sources, during preliminary interrogation, she has admitted to solving the question paper and receiving money in exchange for it. The CBI’s investigation so far has found sufficient evidence that the NEET-UG paper was leaked from Hazaribagh in Jharkhand. The agency had arrested an engineer, Pankaj Kumar, from Patna on charges of stealing the question paper sent to the examination centers in Hazaribagh. Pankaj had provided the stolen question paper to Raju Singh, the operator of Hazaribagh’s Raj Guest House and after this the paper was sent to Patna, where the selected candidates staying in the hostel were made to memorize the answers of the questions overnight.
The investigation has also revealed that some students were made to stay in a guest house in Hazaribagh and were made to memorize the answers to the questions. Currently, the CBI is interrogating Pankaj Kumar and Raju Singh on remand. The agency had arrested Hazaribagh Oasis School Principal and NTA City Coordinator CBI Ehsan Ul Haq, Vice Principal Md. Imtiaz and a daily newspaper journalist Jamaluddin on 28 June in the paper leak case. As the scope of the investigation increases, the names and faces of the people involved in this entire scam are coming out one by one.
