CBI clean chit to NEET student, court orders result release
The CBI has given a clean chit to NEET-UG candidate Atharva Donadkar in the probe into the exam paper leak, and a court has ordered the National Testing Agency to release his results. Donadkar appeared for the medical entrance exam on May 3 and also took a re-test on June 21 after the leak controversy.
The court's directive comes after the CBI submitted its findings clearing the student of any involvement in the leak. The agency's investigation continues into other aspects of the paper leak case, which had sparked protests and demands for a fresh exam.
The NTA has been directed to comply with the court order and issue Donadkar's scorecard. The development marks a significant step for the student, who had been awaiting his results since the re-test.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The NEET-UG paper leak has affected over 24 lakh candidates who took the exam in May. The case is before the Supreme Court, which is hearing multiple petitions demanding a re-test or compensation. The CBI's clean chit to one student does not resolve the larger issue of how the leak occurred and who was responsible. The key next step is the Supreme Court's ruling on whether the entire exam should be cancelled. That decision will determine the fate of lakhs of students and the NTA's credibility.
