Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the Nalanda Police busted an organised NEET 'solver gang' and arrested a second-year MBBS student along with two others. The arrested individuals were allegedly part of a “solver gang” that helped candidates appear for exams in place of the original applicants. Their main motive was reportedly to earn money by providing proxy examinees for NEET and other competitive examinations.

For this, the group would collect large sums from aspirants, use forged admit cards and arrange proxies to enter the examination. The three accused were arrested after being found with a large amount of cash, fake admit cards, and digital evidence linked to the racket. The arrests took place during a high-alert vehicle checking drive conducted ahead of the now-cancelled NEET-UG 2026 exam.
