The United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has given a clean chit to Sanjeev Mukhiya, the alleged kingpin of the NEET-UG 2024 paper leak, stating that no evidence was found linking him to the theft or distribution of the question paper. The case was initially registered by the Bihar — Bihar Police, which named Mukhiya as an accused based on his involvement in other paper leak cases. After taking over the investigation, the CBI filed chargesheets against 45 individuals but did not include Mukhiya, leading to his bail in the case. However, Mukhiya remains in judicial custody due to other cases. The CBI's statement has sparked political reactions, with India — Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal alleging that the government is shielding the accused, while the CBI has dismissed such claims as factually incorrect.
