ED raids multiple locations in Ranchi, Patna in NEET paper leak case

Ranchi, June 19 (UNI) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at multiple locations in Ranchi and Patna on Thursday in connection with the NEET paper leak case.

The ED team searched premises in Ranchi's Bariyatu and several locations in Patna.

The raids were focused on the relatives of Sanjeev Mukhiya, the alleged mastermind in the NEET paper leak case, who had been arrested in connection with the scam.

The ED had been investigating money laundering aspects of the case, following a case registered by the CBI.

Earlier, the CBI had taken over the investigation from the Economic Offences Unit of Patna Police after reports of paper leak had surfaced on May 5, 2024, following the NEET examination.

The CBI had named eight accused in the case, including Sanjeev Mukhiya, Sikandar Yadavendu, Ayush Raj, Rocky, Amit Anand, Nitish Kumar, Bittu, and Akhilesh.

The ED's action had come after the agency prepared an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) based on the CBI's case.

The agency had investigated the financial transactions and money trail in the case to uncover the extent of the paper leak scam.
