As per the CBI, the NEET UG 2024 question paper was illicitly accessed on May 5, 2024, from the Oasis School in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand.
Following this, as per reports, Pankaj Kumar, also known as Aditya or Sahil, identified as one of the masterminds behind the leak, along with the school's principal, vice-principal, and an associate, were involved in the unauthorised access to the exam papers, said CBI.
“The recovered pieces of half-burnt question papers enabled CBI to reach the designated NEET examination centre from where it leaked,” the probe agency said.
