The report further mentions that the EOU is considering the possibility of conducting narco-analysis and brain mapping tests on some of the arrested suspects involved in the case.
Digital Desk: In recent days, significant developments have occurred concerning several national exams. The CSIR-UGC NET exam was recently postponed, adding to the list of cancellations and rescheduling.
Additionally, according to a PTI report, the Bihar Police's Economic Offences Unit, currently investigating the alleged NEET-UG paper leak, announced on Saturday that they have acquired reference question papers from the National Testing Agency (NTA). These papers are intended for comparison with documents recovered from a flat in Patna during a search operation last month.
The report further mentions that the EOU is considering the possibility of conducting narco-analysis and brain mapping tests on some of the arrested suspects involved in the case. As the investigation progresses, more details are emerging about the principal accused, Sanjeev Mukhia. Originally from Nalanda district in Bihar, Mukhia is currently evading arrest. Reports indicate that he began his career as a peon and later ascended to the position of village council head, eventually turning to the illicit trade of leaking examination papers.
Meanwhile, his wife, Mamta Devi, secured the position of ‘mukhiya’ of the Bhuthakhar Panchayat after contesting the 2020 Bihar elections from the Harnaut seat, where she emerged as the first runner-up. Sanjeev Mukhia's son, Shiv Kumar, who holds a degree from Patna Medical College, is already incarcerated for his involvement in the BPSC paper leak case.
Sanjeev Mukhia has a history of criminal activities, including his alleged role in the 2016 police recruitment exam leak and other Bihar Public Service Commission tests. Despite previous incarcerations, he has often been granted bail due to relatively minor charges.
