An AAP leader, Saurabh Bharadwaj, visited the family of a NEET aspirant who allegedly took her own life amid stress caused by reports of a paper leak. He emphasized the need for government assurance on preventing future leaks to avoid such tragedies among young students.

According to Bharadwaj, the aspirant had been preparing for MBBS admissions for years, making the incident especially poignant. The claim is that the stress exacerbated by allegations of examination leaks may have driven her to the extreme measure, reflecting a broader pattern across the nation.

The National Testing Agency cancelled the May 3 NEET and rescheduled it for June 21 due to the paper leak controversy. Bharadwaj called on the Centre to identify and deal with the masterminds behind these leaks to restore trust among students and parents.
