The Story in Brief
A Delhi court has taken cognisance of the CBI’s charge sheet in the NEET-UG paper leak case, saying there is “overwhelming incriminating material” that the 13 accused formed a syndicate. Special Judge Ajay Gupta’s order, made public on Thursday, said the accused leaked and circulated the question paper for illegal monetary gain.
The court noted that kingpin PV Kulkarni knew that subject experts were not frisked at the translation venue. He, along with two other experts, smuggled out notes and sold questions to candidates under the guise of coaching, violating signed undertakings. The court booked them under the Prevention of Corruption Act and other provisions. The NEET-UG was re-conducted on June 21 after the May 3 exam was cancelled.
The Indian Opinion
The court’s unambiguous finding of a syndicate cuts through the usual narrative of isolated cheats. But the real test will be how far the CBI’s money trail goes. Will the charge sheet name the candidate who paid crores for the paper, or the middlemen who arranged the contact? That will tell us whether the exam system can be saved or just patched up.
