Bengaluru Traffic Police said a NEET 2026 candidate missed the exam entry deadline due to late departure from home and taking a longer route. CCTV analysis found no evidence that traffic congestion caused the delay.
Bengaluru, June 23: The Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) has clarified that traffic congestion was not the reason a NEET 2026 candidate failed to reach an examination centre before the prescribed entry deadline on June 21. The clarification comes after allegations circulated on social media suggesting that traffic restrictions linked to a public event had delayed the student's journey.
In a detailed fact-check shared on X, the traffic police said an examination of CCTV footage, route analysis and interactions with the candidate and parents showed that the candidate arrived at the centre after the cutoff time due to a late start from home and the choice of a longer travel route.
