A Kerala NEET-UG 2024 aspirant who scored 640 marks claims exam malpractice denied her a government seat, forcing her to pay Rs 10 lakh per year at a self-financing college. Anjali S has written to PM Modi and Rahul Gandhi seeking accountability for alleged irregularities. In a separate incident in Kalaburagi, Karnataka, 18-year-old aspirant Bhagyashree died by suicide. Her father said he does not blame anyone; police found no note. The NEET-UG exam was cancelled after allegations of a paper leak, with a re-exam scheduled for June 21.
