The petitioners have demanded a background check and forensic investigation of the students who scored more than 620 in the exam. At the same time, a CBI inquiry has also been demanded into the allegation of paper leak.
Along with this, the Supreme Court has clubbed the petitions filed in the NEET UG case in Rajasthan, Calcutta and Bombay High Courts. Now these will be heard in the Supreme Court on July 8. The National Testing Agency (NTA) had made this demand. The vacation bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice SVN Bhatti is hearing this case in the Supreme Court.

Dharmendra Pradhan said- the interests of lakhs of meritorious students will be taken care of
Dharmendra Pradhan said, ‘In the case of NEET, we also have to take care of the interests of lakhs of brilliant students who have passed the exam. Patna Police deserves praise.
They conducted a proper investigation of an isolated incident. Talks are going on between the officials of the Government of India and Bihar Police.
In the case of UGC NET exam, the cyber crime tracking agency informed that the question has appeared on the dark net. It was matched with the original question of NTA. They were the same. We immediately decided that it should be investigated immediately. High level investigation is necessary to investigate the forward of social media platform Telegram. In such a situation, we believed that there was some irregularity in the exam.
