Despite a high-level investigation being launched into the leak of the initial National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) question paper, one can still see purported paper leak messages circulating online. When mid-day accessed platforms such as Telegram, a few groups were seen posting messages advertising the sale of NEET re-exam (re-NEET) papers and asking for payments ranging from Rs 80,000 to Rs 1 lakh in instalments before and after the exam.
One Telegram channel that mid-day accessed had nearly 900 subscribers and urged the students to grab their last chance at MBBS seats.
