ED raids multiple locations in Ranchi & Patna in NEET-UG paper leak case
The Political and Business Daily
|June 20, 2025
THE Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday launched raids at several locations in Ranchi's Bariatu area as well as in Patna and Nalanda in Bihar in connection with the 2024 NEET-UG paper leak case, now being probed for money laundering.
-
According to sources, the ED is investigating financial transactions involving Sanjeev Mukhiya, a Bihar resident believed to be the mastermind of the leak, along with several of his relatives and associates.
The agency initiated a money laundering probe after the CBI, which is investigating the leak, uncovered evidence of large-scale cash transactions. The ED had registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in this regard.
The paper leak first came to light in May 2024, following the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for undergraduate medical courses.
The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) in Patna initially began probing the case, which was later handed over to the CBI.
