Indian Youth Congress (IYC) president, Uday Bhanu Chib, called for accountability following the suicide of a 20-year-old NEET aspirant in Delhi. The incident occurred after alleged reports of a paper leak led to the exam's cancellation.
The deceased, Anshika Pandey, allegedly took her life at her Azadpur residence. Her family suspects the stress from the NEET-UG exam cancellation as the cause. The National Testing Agency had nullified the May 3 exam due to paper leak allegations, with a re-examination slated for June 21.
The paper leak controversy, resulting in student protests and calls for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, has led to nine arrests by the CBI. The arrested individuals include a retired chemistry teacher and a botany lecturer, linked to the paper leak network.
