Bihar's 'Munnabhais': CBI registers fresh case in NEET-UG irregularities; 8 booked

New Delhi: The CBI has registered a fresh case in connection with alleged impersonation by four NEET-UG, 2024 candidates in Bihar's Purnea, officials said on Wednesday.

The central probe agency took over the case from Bihar Police on a request from the state government.

The principal of SRDAV public school, one of the centres for the prestigious medical entrance examination held on May 5 last year, has alleged that the candidates' biometrics showed four impersonators were taking the exam rather than genuine candidates, according to an FIR registered in the matter.
