2 MBBS students arrested as police busts NEET paper solver gang in Delhi

New Delhi- Once again in a National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2024 exam scam, a new group of four individuals has been recently arrested by a special unit of the police (New Delhi district) for allegedly operating a gang that solved NEET 2024 exam papers.

According to a recent report by the Indian Express, the four accused have been identified as Sumit Mandoliya, Krishna Kesarwani, Prabhat Kumar (27) and Kishore Lal (37). Sumit Mandoliya and Krishna Kesarwani, both are MBBS students from government medical colleges. Sumit was pursuing his MBBS course from West Bengal and Krishna, was a first-year MBBS student from Uttarakhand. Meanwhile, Prabhat Kumar runs a coaching centre in Patna and Kishore Lal is a medical school admissions consultant in Rajasthan.

The matter came to light when the biometric data of Mandoliya and Kesarwani did not match during the NEET examination at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Mehta Vidyalaya on Kasturba Gandhi Marg in New Delhi on May 5. After the biometric data was found mismatched, the matter was reported to the police and then both the students were arrested. Subsequently, the students were arrested and questioned where they revealed about Prabhat Kumar and Kishore Lal, who were their handlers.
