An Enforcement Directorate investigation revealed that the gang responsible for the NEET UG cheating network also attempted to tamper with Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSSC) examinations, according to documents seized from the mastermind's residence.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) disclosed that a criminal network previously linked to the NEET UG cheating scandal has extended its activities to the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSSC) examinations. During questioning, the gang's alleged mastermind provided several admissions, prompting investigators to search his premises.
Officials recovered a cache of documents that detailed plans and communications aimed at manipulating BPSSC test processes. The seized material indicates that the group was preparing to interfere with question papers and answer keys, mirroring tactics used in the NEET UG case.
The ED has opened a separate case against the individuals involved in the BPSSC breach, citing violations of the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Indian Penal Code. Authorities said further interrogations will focus on identifying additional accomplices and tracing any financial gains from the attempted fraud.
The revelation adds a new dimension to the ongoing crackdown on exam‑related corruption in Bihar, highlighting the need for stricter security protocols across competitive examinations.
