Earlier in the day, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested four medical students from AIIMS Patna in connection with the NEET-UG Paper Leak case, Dr Gopal Krushna Pal, Director of AIIMS Patna said that the medical institute will take action if the students are found guilty.
Dr Pal said, “The report that CBI has arrested them (medical students) is true. The central agency has also given us information that our four students have been formally arrested. But still now, we have not got anything in writing…”
“Our administrative committee meeting was held today and we discussed the issue and the decision was that the students can be suspended, but subject again to the legal opinion. We are keeping this suspension order in abeyance until we receive any written document,” he added.

The AIIMS Director further said that when CBI’s written reply comes that they have four students in judicial custody, we will wait for some time. “Till the students are not found guilty, we cannot take any decision that they will be suspended as it is a matter of their career. If they are found guilty, we will take action,” Dr Pal said.
The NEET-UG exam, which took place on May 5, 2024, has been surrounded by controversy due to claims of cheating and impersonation. The National Testing Agency (NTA), which organised the exam, has faced strong criticism, resulting in protests and legal actions. As a result, the Union Health Ministry has delayed the NEET-PG 2024 exam, with new dates to be announced soon.
