Jharkhand: CBI Expands NEET Paper Leak Investigation To Accused’s Relatives

Agency To Probe Bank Accounts And Property Acquisitions Of Suspects’ Family Members

The widened scope aims to trace potential illicit financial transactions linked to the exam scam.

RANCHI – The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has broadened its probe into the NEET paper leak scam, now focusing on the financial activities of the accused’s relatives.

"We’re investigating the source of properties and funds of the suspects’ family members," a CBI official stated, requesting anonymity.

The agency will scrutinize recent bank transactions and property acquisitions of relatives connected to the accused.

This expanded investigation follows multiple arrests across India, including a school trustee in Godhra and suspects from Latur, Maharashtra.

CBI recently questioned 13 accused individuals held in Bihar’s Beur Jail as part of the ongoing probe.

Hazaribagh school principal Ehsanul Haq’s arrest and subsequent financial scrutiny mark a significant development in the case.

The remand period for several accused is set to end on July 4, potentially leading to further revelations.

On June 28, CBI arrested three individuals from Hazaribagh, including Oasis school’s principal and vice-principal.

Two additional arrests were made in Patna on June 27, indicating the wide-reaching nature of the investigation.

This expanded probe aims to uncover any hidden financial trails potentially linked to the exam paper leak.
