      No, NEET Paper Leak Accused Were Not Arrested From Congress Office

      A video showing a few people exiting a building, being arrested, and taken away in a car is being shared with a false claim that it shows the six accused in the NEET paper leak case were hiding in the Congress office in Deoghar, Jharkhand.

      BOOM found that the video was recorded at Patna's Lok Narayan Jaiprakash (LNJP) Hospital. On June 23, 2024, the Economic Offenses Unit (EOU) officers brought six individuals arrested in connection with the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) exam to the hospital for a medical examination.

      The National Testing Agency (NTA), which oversees major exams in the country, is facing intense scrutiny. The NEET UG exam, conducted on May 5, 2024, had its results announced on June 4, 2024. After the results were announced, candidates raised several concerns, prompting nationwide protests about the NTA's marking scheme and exam irregularities, leading to the postponement of the CSIR-UGC-NET and NEET PG examinations.

      The central government has transferred the investigation of the paper leak case to the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI). CBI teams have conducted raids in various locations, resulting in the arrest of 27 individuals across five states. Six teams from the Economic Offenses Wing are also carrying out raids to apprehend Sanjeev Mukhiya, the mastermind behind the paper leak case in Patna. On June 23, 2024, the Economic Offenses Unit officers of Bihar arrested six people from Deoghar, Jharkhand, and brought them in for a medical checkup at the hospital in Patna.

      A verified user on X posted the video with a Hindi caption that translates to, "The 6 accused in the NEET paper leak were hiding in the Congress office in Deoghar, Jharkhand."
