Patna: In a major development on the ongoing NEET paper leak, the prime accused Sanjeev Mukhiya has been arrested by Economic Offences Unit team, Patna.
The EOU team arrested Mukhiya on Thursday night, Naiyar Hussain Khan, Additional Director General, Bihar Economic Offences Unit informed ANI.
On April 9, Bihar Police declared a reward of Rs 3 lakh for information leading to the arrest of Sanjeev Mukhia, a key accused in the NEET paper leak case.
Earlier in October last year, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed the chargesheet in the NEET paper theft case in Patna, before the Special Judge Court for CBI, Patna.
The investigation revealed that the NEET UG 2024 question paper was stolen from the control room of OASIS School in Hazaribagh on May 5. The theft occurred after the trunks containing the question papers arrived from the bank vault.
Medical Dialogues earlier reported that After the Centre assured of implementing exam reforms suggested by the expert panel, the Supreme Court closed a matter over the functioning of the National Testing Agency (NTA) in holding last year's NEET UG 2024.
A bench comprising Justices P S Narasimha and Joymalya Bagchi took note of the Centre's compliance reports on the issue and the submissions of its solicitor general Tushar Mehta as it disposed of the plea.
Mehta said the Centre had accepted all the suggestions of the seven-member panel, except one--NTA conducting online NEET exams--for the time being.
"Over 26 lakh students take up NEET across India and the government will have to ascertain availability of internet and computers... this will take some time," he said, "but the report (of the expert panel) has been accepted".
