NEET row: Sanjeev Mukhiya gang colluded with cybercriminals to leak exam papers

The infamous Sanjeev Mukhiya gang was in touch with cybercriminals to get the NEET exam papers leaked, Bihar Police’s Economic Offences Unit has revealed.

According to the EOU, the five people arrested from Jharkhand in the NEET case also included three cyber criminals, and the police seized some post-dated cheques and sim cards from their possession.

Sanjeev Mukhiya, whose son, Shiv, is already jailed for involvement in the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) teacher recruitment exam paper leak, had allegedly accommodated nearly 25 candidates at a boys’ hostel, associated with the Learn Play School in Patna on May 4, a day before the NEET exam.

Reportedly, the candidates were provided with the leaked question paper and answer sheets at the same hostel.

Amid the investigations into the alleged irregularities, the police were also on the lookout for one Rocky, Sanjeev Mukhiya’s nephew, who was alleged to have links with the paper leak.

Rocky runs a hotel in Ranchi and is believed to have provided solvers to crack the leaked NEET exam paper.
