DHANBAD: CBI on Wednesday arrested Aman Singh, an alleged co-conspirator in NEET-UG paper leak case, from Saraidhela locality in Dhanbad. Though local CBI officials are tight-lipped, sources said a team from Patna raided the locality and arrested Singh.
While there was no response despite repeated calls to Dhanbad SP (CBI), Dhanbad SSP HP Janardanan too refused to elaborate except that Dhanbad police extended support sought by CBI officials.
According to sources, investigation so far has led the agency to a Jharkhand-based module allegedly involved in the NEET-UG paper leak case which led to the arrest of Singh from Dhanbad. Singh is a key person in the paper leak case in Hazaribag and Patna, with its alleged mastermind being Sajeev Mukhiya who is still absconding.
CBI had earlier arrested Ashutosh Kumar and Manish Kumar from Patna, Ehsanul Haque and Imtiaz Alam – principal and vice-principal of Oasis School – in Hazaribag and a newspaper representative Jamaluddin Ansari, also from Hazaribag. Parts of burnt question papers were recovered by Bihar police from Ashutosh and Manish who had also provided shelter to NEET aspirants.
The CBI has registered six cases so far following reference from the Union ministry of education for a comprehensive investigation into the alleged irregularities in medical entrance examination.
