Allegations Against Tejashwi Yadav’s Aide in NEET UG Paper Leak Case: Bihar Deputy CM Reveals
In a recent press conference, Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha made stunning allegations against a close aide of Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav in connection with the NEET UG paper leak case. Sinha revealed call details and messages linking Tejashwi Yadav’s aide, Pritam Kumar, to the scandal.
Providing detailed evidence, Sinha showcased a WhatsApp call made on May 1 by Pritam Kumar to Pradip Kumar to book a room for Sikandar Prasad Yadavendu, a key accused in the case. Pradip Kumar, employed in the road construction department of Bihar, verified the calls and messages directed towards the accommodation arrangements ahead of the NEET exam.
The alleged involvement of Pritam Kumar, who served as Tejashwi Yadav’s private secretary, and the booking of a room under Yadavendu’s name raised serious concerns about the orchestration of the paper leak. Sinha emphasized the need for thorough questioning of both Tejashwi Yadav and Pritam Kumar to ascertain the truth.
Amidst the ongoing investigation by Bihar’s Economic Offences Unit (EOU), the confession of an arrested student, Anurag Yadav, disclosed alarming details. Anurag revealed that his uncle, Sikandar Prasad Yadavendu, facilitated the memorization of leaked question papers for the NEET exam, implicating a larger network of individuals in the scandal.
With the revelation of Yadavendu’s role in providing advance access to exam materials, the NEET UG paper leak case has stirred nationwide outrage. Calls for re-examination and accountability from the National Testing Agency and the education ministry have intensified, fueling demands for a transparent resolution to the controversy.
