The accused student who went to the examination centre as a proxy for the said doctor's son carried an admit card that featured the NEET aspirant's picture. Meanwhile, since the incident, the accused AIIMS student has been absent from college.

The incident came to light when station house officer (SHO) Ram Krishna Paramhans Kumar received this information from an undisclosed source and registered an FIR at Mithanpura police station in Muzaffarpur accordingly on the same day. Both the student and Dr Pandey have been named in the FIR.

As per the daily, the breach at the examination centre in DAV School, Malighat, was never officially reported to the police and the authorities only made the accused student write an apology letter. 

Police quoted an official of the exam centre as saying that the young man had been asked to wait outside after he wrote an apology while the authorities decided what to do next. He allegedly sneaked out and couldn't be traced.

ASP Awadhesh Dixit of Muzaffarpur told TOI, "The centre was under the scanner for not reporting the crime immediately. The school management was apparently reluctant to pursue the case, fearing damage to the centre's reputation." 

"Separate teams have been sent to Prayagraj, Barmer and Jodhpur to locate the accused. Neither of them was found at their respective homes or workplaces. The student who allegedly took money to act as a proxy for an examinee hasn't attended classes at AIIMS-Jodhpur since May 2," said SHO Paramhans Kumar.
