Delhi Police Crack Down on NEET Admission Scam

Delhi Police have uncovered an organized scam defrauding NEET aspirants and their families with false promises of guaranteed MBBS admissions. The operation led to the arrest of four individuals, including the mastermind and a doctor.

According to official sources, eighteen students, some minors, were duped into believing they would receive essential exam questions ahead of the May 3 NEET examination. The fraudulent question papers were fabricated using content from past exams and coaching materials. The perpetrators allegedly demanded Rs 20 to 30 lakh from families, luring them with the assurance of securing medical college admissions.

The police acted on a specific lead from Surat Police about a suspect operating in Delhi. This led to the identification of four suspects, including Vinod Bhai Bhikha Bhai Patel, who allegedly attracted aspirants from Gujarat. Subsequent police operations liberated 18 students and apprehended the culprits, with further investigations underway.
