NEET-UG Scandal: CBI Arrests 4 AIIMS Patna MBBS Students Following Civil Engineer’s Detention

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested four MBBS students from AIIMS Patna on suspicion of their involvement in the NEET-UG paper leak case. Among them, three are third-year students identified as Chandan Singh, Rahul Anant, and Kumar Shanu, while Karan Jain is a first-year student. The students were detained from their hostel rooms, which were subsequently sealed.

AIIMS Patna director GK Pal confirmed the arrests, stating, “The CBI has taken into custody four students. Chandan Singh, Rahul Anant, and Kumar Shanu are third-year students, and Karan Jain is a first-year student.” He added that the CBI had received information about the students involved in the probe, including their photographs and mobile numbers.

Dr. Pal clarified that no doctors were arrested in connection with the case. “No doctors have been arrested. The CBI team has taken four students into custody. One of them was not present in the hostel initially but later reported to the authorities,” he said.

The director emphasized AIIMS Patna’s cooperation with the investigation. “We have provided all necessary assistance and will continue to cooperate. The students in custody are Chandan Singh from Siwan, Kumar Shanu from Patna, Rahul Anand originally from Dhanbad but residing in Patna, and Karan Jain from Araria,” he added.

The arrests follow the earlier detention of Pankaj Kumar, a civil engineer, for allegedly stealing the NEET-UG paper from the NTA trunk in Hazaribagh. The CBI is actively investigating the paper leak in Bihar, having already arrested numerous individuals, including exam aspirants, over alleged malpractices.

The Supreme Court, addressing petitions concerning the NEET controversy, has urged petitioners to demonstrate that the Bihar paper leak was systematic and compromised the exam’s integrity. The Centre and the National Testing Agency have argued against a re-examination, citing potential adverse impacts on the futures of thousands of diligent students.
