The NEET UG paper leak scandal has spread its tentacles from Bihar to Jharkhand, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. Centers in Patna, Hazaribagh, Godhra, and Latur fall under investigation. The epicenter of the paper leak is touted to be the Oasis School in Hazaribagh. The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) of Bihar has raised serious questions about the role of this school. With the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) taking over, the onus to delve deep into the massive education racket has intensified, leading to inquiries across various locations and rigorous questioning of the accused. The EOU has handed over an 80-page FIR to the CBI along with a 2,000-page report.
Raiding hotspots in Patna linked to the gang, the CBI's actions gained momentum following a report from the EOU. Initiating comprehensive case sequencing, the agency has detained the principal of Oasis School and registered a first FIR naming eight individuals. Raids covered three locations in Patna, including a flat owned by one Sikandar Yadu, Learn and Play School, and its boys' hostel, as well as the NH Guest House – all connected to the accused in the NEET paper leak scam. The purportedly compromised question paper booklets originated from this center at the Oasis School, deepening the mystery yet to be unraveled by ongoing CBI investigations.

The pursuit of mastermind Sanjeev Mukhiya intensifies as his whereabouts remain unknown following the emergence of his name in the controversy. Speculations are rife about his escape to Nepal using a falsified medical certificate, making his arrest a high-stakes endeavor. The criminal network's alleged connections to the infamous solving gang hint at a broader nexus of academic malpractice that undermines the integrity of the prestigious NEET exams, affecting the future of over 24 million students.
In the thick of the investigation, the two detained individuals, identified as Chintu and Mukesh, remain under intense scrutiny. With their association with the gang confirmed, eyes are set on the CBI's ability to extract crucial information during the custody period. As the agency progresses, it must contend with ghostwriters, leaked question papers, high-stakes rackets, and the closure that thousands of aspirants and their families seek from this highly publicized academic debacle.
