Nearly a month before the NEET-UG 2024 exam was scheduled, Bijender Gupta had already predicted that the question paper would be leaked. But how did he know? As part of the paper leak syndicate, he was well acquainted with the current mastermind, Sanjeev Mukhiya, also known as Lutan, who is notorious in the industry. Gupta revealed how Mukhiya managed the paper leak operation, aiming to earn hundreds of crores. Their web covers several states and multiple entrance exam papers. Contrary to claims by Bihar EOU, Bijender insists that this paper leak came to light due to a slip-up within the syndicate, particularly by a member named Rocky. Gupta incriminates Bihar as the epicenter of paper leaks, stating that without Biharis, no paper leak would succeed. This investigation by India Today has unveiled the workings of a well-oiled paper leak mafia, exposing its intricate operations and revealing Bihar's pivotal role in the illicit industry. With Arvind Ojha & Sreya Chatterjee, this is India Today's special investigation team uncovering the truth.
