The NEET question paper leak case was first exposed by Patna police on the day of examination, May 5. The case was initially transferred to the Economic Offence Unit (EOU) of Bihar police which swiftly investigated it and exposed several individuals including the mastermind Sanjeev Mukhiya and his associates like Rakesh Ranjan alias Rocky, Chintu Kumar and others. They are the natives of Nalanda district and Sanjeev Mukhiya is still on the run.
