NEET-UG Leak Case: CBI Gets Three-Day Extension to File Chargesheet Annexures
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been granted an additional three days to submit annexures related to the chargesheet in the NEET-UG question paper leak case. The extension was granted by a special court in Patna, which has now scheduled the next hearing for August 3.
The CBI had earlier filed a chargesheet in the case but sought more time to provide supporting documents. The probe agency is investigating the alleged leak of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) question paper, which took place earlier this year. The leak had sparked widespread protests and raised concerns about the integrity of the examination process.
According to sources, the CBI has made significant progress in the investigation and has arrested several individuals in connection with the case. The agency is also probing the role of organized syndicates and possible links to other examinations.
The court's decision to grant the extension indicates that the investigation is ongoing and more details are expected to emerge. The next hearing on August 3 will be crucial, as the court may take up the matter for further proceedings.
The NEET-UG exam is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to medical and dental courses across India. The leak has led to demands for a thorough review of the examination system and stricter security measures.
