Three resident doctors from the AIIMS in Patna were detained for their alleged links to the “paper solver” gang, as part the CBI’s probe into alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG 2024. They are believed to be part of a team that solved the paper for the beneficiaries, sources told News18.
According to sources, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took the three doctors into custody and are questioning them about their links to a gang that solved the paper. It is now being investigated if they gave the solved paper only to beneficiaries that have been traced or to others as well, sources said.
