Jaipur: Rajasthan Police's special operations group (SOG) is investigating an inquiry into allegations of malpractice regarding the NEET examination. Vishal Bansal, additional director general (ADG) of the SOG, confirmed that a specific "guess paper" featuring 410 questions is under scrutiny to determine any cheating or criminal activity.
It is alleged that roughly 120 questions from this set were identical to those in the Chemistry portion of the actual examination.
Bansal said the document had reportedly been in circulation for up to a month prior to the exam date, and authorities are currently verifying the extent of any criminal activity involved.
