A multi-state racket offering guaranteed seats to NEET students has been detected with the arrest of eight people by the Central Bureau of Investigation. Students were replaced by expert exam solvers at the time of exam in the same way like it was shown in Bollywood’s hit ‘Munnabhai MBBS’.
Each seat cost ₹ 20 lakh, of which 5 lakh was given to the person who impersonated the student and solved the NEET (the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) question paper, said sources in the agency. The rest is shared by the middlemen and others.
