The Enforcement Directorate on June 19, Thursday, conducted multi-state raids in connection with a money laundering investigation into a scam in the recruitment of constables in Bihar during 2023, said official PTI sources

At least a dozen cities in Patna and Nalanda in Bihar, Ranchi (Jharkhand), Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) and Kolkata (West Bengal) are being raided under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act

The people behind this alleged scam are said to be the same who were involved in the NEET UG Paper Leak Scam of 2024. In May 2024, NEET-UG faced allegations of question paper leaks. In Patna, Bihar, police arrested 13 people, including four examinees, who had allegedly paid Rs. 30 to Rs. 50 lakh to obtain the question paper beforehand.

 In Godhra, Gujarat, a raid at an exam centre revealed that a teacher, who was also the deputy superintendent, instructed students not to answer questions they didn바카라™t know, promising to fill in the answers. Five people were arrested, and it was discovered that candidates from multiple states had taken the exam at this centre. The cases were handed over to the CBI.
