NEET-UG Paper Leak: CBI Arrests Key Conspirator Karan Bhalla from Dhanbad, Jharkhand
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday arrested Karan Bhalla, a key conspirator in the NEET-UG 2024 paper leak case, from Dhanbad in Jharkhand. This marks the seventh arrest made by the central agency in its ongoing probe into the nationwide exam scandal.
Earlier, on Sunday, June 30, the CBI had arrested Dixit Patel, the owner of a private school in Godhra, Gujarat, in connection with alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG 2024 exam. Patel, the sixth accused in the case, was taken into custody from his residence in Gujarat’s Panchmahal district.
Bhalla's institution, Jay Jalaram School, was one of the official centres for the NEET-UG exam held on May 5. It is suspected to have served as the epicentre of widespread malpractice and fraud related to the exam.
According to Gujarat Police, Patel allegedly charged ₹10 lakh from at least 27 candidates, promising to help them clear the test. He reportedly instructed the students not to attempt questions they were unsure of, implying that answers would be filled in for them later.
karan bhalla CBI's preliminary findings revealed that candidates who were willing to use unfair means were advised to choose Jay Jalaram School as their exam centre—a key part of the conspiracy.
On Saturday, June 29, the CBI had also arrested Jamaluddin Ansari, the fifth accused in the case, just a day after apprehending the principal and vice-principal of Oasis School in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand.
Among those under the scanner are Rohit, a marketing professional with a Hindi media outlet, and his brother Salauddin, who serves as the bureau chief at the same organisation.
