Kejriwal Cites Nepal Student Movement Protest Amid NEET Paper Leak Row

His statements came in the wake of severe condemnation from the opposition parties toward the BJP government as NTA cancelled NEET-UG exam following the leak allegations.

Kejriwal Attacks Centre over NEET Row

During the press conference the AAP supremo stated that the faith of the exam aspirants was broken due to the series of paper leaks, asking whether stringent action has ever been taken against the culprits for past leak cases investigated by the CBI.

“If Gen Z in countries like Bangladesh and Nepal could change the government, then Indian youth could also ensure accountability in cases of paper leaks,” he said.

Kejriwal Questions Effectiveness of CBI Probe

In his response over the past CBI investigation in the paper leak cases the leader also doubted whether those responsible have been subjected to a severe punishment or not and he also alleges that the probe in the case of NEET paper leak by CBI would be "fruitless" as the same has happened in other cases too.

Citing multiple paper leak cases since 2014, Kejriwal stated that crores of student's lives were destroyed because of this, and most of the cases occurred in BJP ruled states.

NEET Paper Leak Through Guess Paper

On Tuesday the National Testing Agency cancelled the NEET-UG test conducted on May 3, with reports of questions worth about 600 marks were allegedly leaked prior to the conduct. Investigators have revealed a widespread, countrywide network of coach centres, hostellers, impersonators, and solvers. 

The actual question paper was purportedly used to set a 410-question "guess paper" with around 120 actual NEET questions incorporated, which was widely disseminated through coaching centres, hostels and paid WhatsApp groups. The CBI is now investigating the matter.
