NEET Exam Turmoil: CBI Arrests and Political Accusations

The CBI has arrested five individuals linked to the NEET UG paper leak, intensifying protests and calls for Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. The arrests have led to political disputes, with accusations against BJP affiliations among the arrested. The scandal has left over 22 lakh aspirants and their families in distress after the National Testing Agency cancelled the May 3 exam.

The Federation of All India Medical Association has moved the Supreme Court to replace the NTA with a more advanced body. Chief Ministers and political leaders have criticized the flawed exam system. Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Police's investigation uncovered how the leak spread from a student in Sikar to various candidates.

Amidst the probe, the Congress and TMC allege BJP links, while BJP denies involvement. The scandal has fuelled political blame games, with Arvind Kejriwal urging youth activism. Former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot claims one arrested is a BJP leader, prompting debates on government accountability in preventing such leaks.
