New Delhi, July 18
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has detained three doctors from AIIMS Patna in connection with the paper leak and irregularities in the entrance examination.
The doctors are from the 2021 batch, officials said.
The CBI has also sealed the rooms of the doctors, and their laptops and mobile phones have also been seized.
Two days ago, the agency had arrested two accused identified as Pankaj Kumar and Raju Singh, from Patna in Bihar and Hazaribagh in Jharkhand, respectively.
Pankaj Kumar is a part of the paper leak mafia, and he allegedly stole the NEET-UG question papers with Raju's help. A special court in Patna on Wednesday sent Pankaj Kumar to 14-day CBI custody, while Raju was remanded to 10-day custody, officials said.
The CBI had arrested nine people in the NEET paper leak case. It also has the custody of 13 other accused, including Rocky alias Rakesh Ranjan, the kingpin in the case, from Bihar.
