In a revelation, Bijender Gupta, a key figure in the paper leak network, has exposed intricate details of the NEET-UG paper leak, shedding light on a well-established operation that spans decades. Gupta, who has been involved in multiple paper leak cases across India, including the recent NEET-UG exam, provided startling insights into how the scam unfolded.
Gupta, speaking in an India Today sting operation, disclosed that the paper leak involved a sophisticated network targeting approximately 700 students across various locations. He explained that the leakage occurred during the distribution process, where teams strategically intercepted and distributed the compromised question papers.
As per Gupta, the operation relied heavily on networking within the government and leveraging logistics loopholes. He revealed that logistics companies transporting question papers often faced breaches where boxes containing exam papers were compromised. Gupta also highlighted the role of blacklisted firms, allegedly manipulating tender processes to gain access to sensitive documents.
Gupta, with a history of evading authorities despite multiple arrests, detailed his association with known figures in the paper leak underworld, including Sanjeev Mukhiya, a significant player who remains at large.
Gupta claimed that Mukhiya’s involvement spanned over a decade and involved intricate strategies, including wearing Bluetooth devices during exams to receive answers.
Despite the gravity of the scandal, Gupta expressed confidence in the ongoing investigations by the Economic Offences Unit (EOU) and acknowledged the complexities faced by law enforcement in tackling such organized crime. He emphasized the cyclical nature of arrests and bail in the paper leak business, suggesting a persistent challenge for authorities.
The exposure of such a wide-reaching scam has sparked public outrage and raised concerns over the integrity of national-level examinations like NEET-UG. With allegations of widespread corruption and compromised security measures, there is growing pressure on regulatory bodies to implement stricter protocols and ensure transparency in future exams.
