Anurag Yadav, the NEET candidate who was arrested in connection with irregularities in the exam results, has confessed that the leaked question paper he received was identical to the actual exam paper.
According to a confession letter circulating online, 22-year-old Yadav, who is the nephew of an engineer deployed at Bihar’s Danapur Town Council (Danapur Nagar Parishad), stated that his relative Sikandar Prasad Yadavendu informed him that all preparations for the exam had been completed.
According to the confession statement presented to the Patna Police in the NEET exam case, the student received the question paper one day before the exam. The same questions appeared in the exam.
